Cast Coffee Table 01 by Nathan Martin of Saturday Yard Work, 2025 Material: Aluminium, 100cm x 60cm x 40cm H

Scrap polystyrene sheets collected throughout 2024 had influenced the design of cast coffee table 01. The thin fragile sheets are juxtaposed to the sturdy legs, each individually hand sculpted, with the form highlighted through the polished cast finish. Although the cast aluminium piece is fully polished, subtle nods to materiality can be seen in details of the table edge and slight textured surface.

SATURDAY YARD WORK by Nathan Martin is a Kaurna/Adelaide based practice that aims to find a medium between sculpture, craft, and functional objects by delving into material experimentation and processes. Embracing unorthodox production methods, Nathan seeks to uncover unexpected visual and sensory outcomes manifested in form and texture. Through the crafting of unique pieces, his experimental and process-driven design ethos celebrates the unconventional, embracing the imperfect and the intricacies of handmade objects.

Nathan has exhibited his work in a selection of national and international group exhibitions from 2023 to 2026, including presentations at Melbourne Design Week, Collectible Fair Brussels, and shows in Adelaide, Brussels and New York.
