Part 2, Dragonfly End Table - on display

        Dragonflies amidst a spectrum of color!
                                        Symbolism of a dragonfly;
             Change in the Perspective of Self-Realization
          Dragonflies in nature exhibit iridescence both on its wings as well as its body.   Iridescence in an object shows different colors depending on how light reflects off of it.
The Curly Maple wood on the table top has the similar iridescent qualities of the dragonfly.  The pattern of the wood can go from flat to wavy depending on the angle you view it from.  The Chartreuse to Teal sunburst finish accentuates those qualities.


The magical characteristics of iridescence has the ability to represent an unmasking of one’s real self and removes the doubt that a person casts on their sense of identity.  
The images of the dragonfly within the framework of the table show the freedom of movement the dragonfly has in nature.  Dragonflies have the rare ability to fly in six different directions.  The Coppervein powder coat finish on the framework of the table also has that magical iridescence that catch the eye.


The goals at Robert Shaw Design are to create Furniture and Accents that are original and have a connection with its owner.  Furniture that make it possible for a person to express how they see the world.
