$4,999.99Price
Luxury modern table base for round glass top:  A unique statement table handmade out of steel by Invictus Steelworks.  Available for other applications, including coffee tables, and other kinds of tabletops by custom order.
 
A high end round metal dining table pedestal for glass table tops, the Vortex is a handmade out of steel, designed to leave a lasting impression.  This is a unique sculptural dining table, made to order in custom dimensions and finishes.
 
Boasting a unique, three tiered wave design, we recommend the Vortex as shown for round or square table tops.  For long rectangular table tops, we recommend a double pedestal, or for smaller rectangular table tops, the shape of the base can be made in an oval to accommodate the rectangular shape.
 
Customer Review
The Vortex was custom designed for an amazing home in California.  The client was looking for an organic, water inspired dining table for a glass tabletop that would also be a statement table.  Here's what she had to say:
 
"Holy Smokes! That is FANTASTIC. I just can't believe how amazing it looks. CRAZY TALENT... A million thank-you's...It just blows my mind how anybody could be such a visionary! Fantastic."
 
A made to order designer metal table base, the Vortex is handmade by steel artist Robert Simmons, and is one of his finest sculptural dining table designs. No templates or computers are used in Robert's designs, and every curve is cut, bent and fit by hand.  Like all of our work, nothing is machined.  Robert start from scratch on every design, making all of his cuts freehand.  
 
Shown in hand polished steel, The Vortex is available in custom dimensions and finishes. Can be scaled to for many applications, for round or square table tops including:
  • luxury coffee table pedestal
  • Cocktail table pedestal
  • Round conference table base
  • Statement table
  • Foyer table or entryway table
 
For rectangular tabletops, use two bases as a double pedestal. Comes with glass levelers.

  • Determining Dimensions | Scaling to Size

    All of our work can be scaled for just about any application. Contact us for details if you would like to see if a particular design can be scaled for your application. All work shown on our website was once a custom order. Your order will be scaled to the size best suited to the dimensions of your tabletop and not necessarily reflect the dimensions in any listing.

    Standard dining table height is 30", which is the total height of the base and the top when combined. 

    Please provide material and dimensions of the tabletop you intend to use in your order notes. We will contact you to confirm the base dimensions.

    Example: Glass, 72x42x1/2” or 3 CM Stone, 96x48.

    Your base will be prepared to receive your top at no additional cost as follows:

    • Glass: Glass Levelers
    • Wood: Pre-drilled mounting straps, 3/8” holes unless another size is requested.
    • Stone, including granite, quartz, quartzite, marble, cement or other stone or stone-like top: a fully integrated support apron with support every 12-16”.
