Tim Urban: Stone Artist

Honeybees doing what honeybees do, these amazing creatures get a little love here in recognition of the huge part they play in our world’s eco-system. Inlaid into a beautiful live-edge slab of Brazilian Purpleheart wood, the larger-than-life bees’ bodies are made of Turkish gold travertine and honed black granite while the lightly scored wings are white tumbled marble. Contrasted against a drift of super-sized white and gold onyx Dahlia flowers accented by peach and mauve colored Italian marble centers, the full-sized coffee table is supported by a dynamic black metal base, and is sealed with multiple applications of a satin topcoat to ensure that the stunning purple wood will not fade and the stones are sealed in protection against food and drink spills.
