The cantilevered table Mark, named after its creator, is designed as a highly flexible and universal pull up surface to accompany low lounge seating. The table's minimal design is an exercise in pure function dictating form. The wrapping articulation of its design communicates a soft dialog between the user and itself by establishing a new relationship between table and interior furnishings.

- It is as little design possible that makes this table successful, that the table is less about itself and more about its relationships it creates,  states Thorpe himself about the table.
