Gray Side Tables
These two tables in sapele mahogany, are excellent examples of Sweet’s Neo-Modernist design, and work that he refers to as among his “signature” pieces.
The door on the left box and the walls of the right one are hollow volumes. Each tilt off vertical, but are brought back to horizontal top surfaces by a rotated transitional element. They incorporate both alternating and sometimes intersecting flat and bent planes. Another design element is seen in the shifting “frame and panel” veneer patterns on the tops.Lynn Sweet is a staff instructor at the University of Kentucky College of Fine Arts
in the Department of Art’s Studio Area, and the Department of Art’s Fine Arts Institute.
His work is in many private and public collections and he has exhibited in many galleries
and shows in the United States and Europe.
