Mosley Side Table
Details
Simple in form with statement dimension and hue, this dark stained mango wood Mosley Side Table brings a midcentury silhouette and modern sensibility to home decor. Featuring stacked pieces that form a cylinder, circular top, and polished finish, this sculptural piece makes a beautiful accent table, and is a lovely spot to highlight decorative vases, lighting, and other home accents.
Editors' Note
Sculptor Thaddeus Mosley is the inspiration behind the naming of this piece. Born in New Castle, Pennsylvania in 1926, and currently residing in Pittsburgh, the self-taught artist, renowned for his massive, transcendent wood sculptures, pursued art for several decades before turning it into a career. Nevertheless, he was a member of the storied Pittsburgh art collective, Group A, and co-founder, along with fellow African American artists Charles Anderson and Lee Cowan, of the Watt Lane Art Club (later Group One). Working primarily in reclaimed wood, and often with no more than a chisel and gauge, Mosley’s work evinces a wide range of influences. Among them he lists the Dogon (Mali), Senufo (Côte d'Ivoire), Bamum (Cameroon), Baoulé (Côte d'Ivoire), Mossi (Burkina Faso) and Dan (Liberia) traditions of Africa, as well as Japanese artist Isamu Noguchi , and modernist jazz concepts. A former freelance journalist who profiled jazz artists for several national publications, Mosley has spoken extensively on the relationship between poetry, jazz and art.
