Don McCollin and Maureen Bryan’s partnership, established in 1988, enabled their individual design talents to spark off each other. Key to their practice is their interest in material, form and function through the use of cast resins and plasters combined with metals, wood and acrylic. Working with traditional materials they create bold and innovative contemporary pieces.
The Pebble coffee table is one such meeting of minds.
Scagliola (pronounced “scal-y-oh-lah”) is a centuries-old technique for creating surfaces that mimic fine marble and other noble materials. This decorative man-made plaster, used since the Roman era, enjoyed a renaissance in the 18th century. It can be used for sculpture, walls, columns, floors, fireplaces, table tops and bespoke furniture. An imaginary marble.

Fraxile Coffee Table
Fraxile cocktail table is McCollin Bryan’s experiment in combining recycled glass with midnight blue resin. It pays homage to the rich qualities in fractal resin designs of Marie-Claude de Fouquières in the 1970s. This French artist was only producing these works for 8 years, so they are extremely rare. A poetic effect obtained through a chemical reaction is sometimes compared to crushed ice or shatterline.
This collectible coffee table is a coloured resin oval set into a solid brass frame. This jewellery-inspired object resembles a giant accessory, as if a goldsmith set a cabochon in a bezel. Much like with the cocktail rings, which can be worn on on several fingers at once, you don’t have to restrict yourself to one cocktail table; they look great in a flamboyant group.

Abyssus 1 Table
McCollin Bryan’s philosophy is to create functional furniture & objects with subtle and intriguing dimensions. Key is the process of experimentation and development of visual concepts.
A series of experiments with resins & forms resulted in the Abyssus in 2008, a table with a sculptural presence, rich in its surface & clean in its form.
The Abyssus tables comprise a highly polished resin surface which conceals a gilt core. The darkened resin creates a curious veil over the opulent centre, drawing the eye to the sinuous textures within that provide a sharp contrast to the Abyssus’ geometric form.
Oval or round coffee table with high polished surface over a textured gilded core.
Edition of 20.
Resin, gilt.
Onto either brass legs, castors, or dome feet.
Care:
The resin should be cleaned with a multi-surface, wax-free polish and a soft, clean cloth.
Fine scratches may occur with use but will be reduced with regular polishing.
Please avoid placing hot items on the surface. This may cause damage to the resin.
Chrome legs to be polished with a silver / metal polish.

Lens Table Clear Violetta Ø 45 x 47 cm Limited Edition)
By exploiting the intrinsic characteristics of the materials we work with we aim to intrigue the viewer. Our experiments with clear resin began in 1999, inspired by an antique magnifying lens from a telescope and the play of light and reflections. Our results set us on a path to produce our first prototype of a Lens Table in 2005.
Every Lens coffee table is a functional item of furniture infused with the poetic nature of light and reflections.
This version comes with highly polished resin top in Clear, backed with a tinted mirror on five
powder-coated black bronze legs.
Brass or nickel legs are available upon request.
Minty Table
McCollin Bryan’s Minty Table is now made using bio-based resin formulated with renewable raw materials, incorporated with a resin by-product from their Lens tables to be mindful of the circular economy. It carries the same design impact as its predecessor in Scagliola plaster but is suitable for outdoor use due to the naturally hard-wearing properties of the materials.
The bio-based resin used in this piece is certified by the USDA BioPreferred Programme for reducing the environmental impact caused by petroleum-based resins, and the manufacturers are committed to participating in the “1% for the Planet” initiative, donating 1% of gross sales to environmental causes.
Symmetric version of our oval coffee table.
Bio-based resin, wood, onto dome feet.
