The Axis Coffee Table is a low table by Max Brockbank, part of the Studio Brocky Collection, built around an opposition between the clarity of glass and the complexity of cast aluminium.
The top is a round disc of transparent glass. What gives the piece its character is what sits below it: four curved aluminium elements, each angled against the next, twist together into a base that reads differently from every angle. The form draws on space-age design vocabulary, the same optimistic geometry that ran through British industrial and product design in the 1960s.
The base is cast and finished by hand in England, its surfaces left in a light, natural aluminium tone that reflects and diffuses light without drawing attention away from the glass above. The glass top rests on the structure without visible fixings.
Part of the Studio Brocky Collection, the Axis Coffee Table represents Brockbank's approach to putting craft techniques in conversation with 1960s cultural references. It is handmade in England, shaped in collaboration with metalworking artisans.

About
Studio Brocky
Max Brockbank is the founder and designer behind Studio Brocky, a British design practice making sculptural furniture and lighting by hand in England.
Brockbank grew up in a small, once industry-fuelled town in North-East England, where making things once meant everything. When industry faded, he felt its absence first-hand. That silence became the engine behind a lifelong drive to design objects that endure. After shaping collections for major labels in New York and London, he established Studio Brocky as a return to craft and meaning over mass-market noise.
The studio's debut collection draws on the optimism of the space age, the theatricality of glam rock, and the warmth of British pop culture circa 1960. Each piece is designed and made in close collaboration with artisans specialising in metalwork, furniture, and textiles, sourcing materials across the country and relying on time-honoured technique rather than industrial shortcut. The Vanguard Lounge Chair, with its guitar-silhouette form and boar bristle cushioning, and the Neutrino Table Lamp, whose hand-blown glass shade is shaped in London by heat, gravity, and the maker's hand, demonstrate how deeply process and material shape the final object.
Brockbank describes his approach as connecting hands across time, placing the touch of the artisan at the centre of every decision, from the polished chrome bases of the Vanguard seating to the cast brass of the Capsule Pedestal. The result is a body of artisanal British furniture and lighting that sits between sculpture and function, drawing attention from Azure Magazine, The Oblist, and 1stDibs.
Studio Brocky's work is available on Monde Singulier, the destination for collectible design.
