A painting inspires the idea for a custom dining table with sweeping , almost illusory lines. Inspired by the abstract figurative painter Francis Bacon! Designer Marc Desplaines saw a series of Bacon paintings at the Legion of Honor Museum on San Francisco; the ephemeral cages and sweeping lines that encase and dissolve the figures became the basis for a variety of pieces in the Antoine Proulx “Ø Series,” including the DT-86 Dining Table.
