Those
of you who know me pretty well will know I have a weird ‘thing’ for the London
Underground. Is it because my dissertation was on it, so I have been studying
it for over a year now? Is it because it reminds me of being a kid? Or is it
because it’s just really awesome and everyone should love it? Anything TFL
related and I am just all over it, you may remember the Squint X London Transport
Museum chair or the vintage train racks I covered a few months ago. This is
another of those wonderful opportunities to share a piece of Transport love, in
particular in the form of the map.
The
tube map is particularly close to me, I love every element and aspect of it so
when my boyfriend sent me this table from Alex Hammond I got sadly excited…I probably
cried a little. It is a laser cut glass coffee table, stripped of all colour
and text we are left with those iconic lines that create the pattern of the
underground. With two layers of glass, one being the cut glass, it creates a
perfect shadow of lines when lit from above. For me this is my idea of the
perfect coffee table, check out more of Alex Hammond’s work here.
