Still deciding?
Worcestershire, England 🇬🇧Handmade to orderFSC & PEFC certified timberAward-winning British maker

The Expose Coffee Table is honest about how it is made. Three sweeping legs of curved timber interlock at angles to carry a round glass top, and their edges are left bare so you can see the layers of birch plywood inside.

Designed by Alex MacMaster and launched in 2010, the Expose is one of MacMaster's earliest pieces. It is still made by hand to order in Worcestershire, England.

“Where timber becomes art.”

— MacMaster Design

The Design Story

The name says it all. Rather than hide the plywood core beneath veneer, Alex left it exposed on the edges, where its fine stripes contrast with the smooth walnut or oak surface. It keeps the design true to its materials and shows the craft of lamination openly.

A MacMaster maker shaping curved timber laminations by hand in the Worcestershire workshop

Each leg is a complex curved lamination, set at an angle so the three lock together into a stable three-point structure. On top sits a 10 mm toughened glass disc with a polished edge, so the whole structure stays visible through it.

About the Designer

Alex MacMaster, founder and designer of MacMaster Design, shaping a curved timber lamination in his Worcestershire workshopAlex MacMaster founded MacMaster Design in 2009 on a simple belief: that the objects we live with every day deserve the care usually kept for fine art. He works from a studio in the Worcestershire countryside, at The Guildings in Trimpley near Bewdley, and designs and builds each piece himself, from the first sketch to the final finish.

His work draws on Art Deco geometry, the organic forms of plants and flowers, and the quiet beauty of timber grain. Design, development, making and packing all happen under one roof, and offcuts from one range feed the next, so very little goes to waste. MacMaster pieces now light private homes, luxury hotels and flagship stores across the UK, Europe and beyond.

Why You'll Love It

The Expose turns the middle of a room into a centrepiece. Its three legs seem to spin beneath the glass, and the striped plywood edges add a quiet detail that people notice up close. The round top softens a seating area and is easy to walk around, which makes it as practical as it is striking.

Where It's Best Placed

At 43.3 in across and 13.8 in high, the Expose suits a generous living room, a seating group of sofas and lounge chairs, or a large rug. Its round shape works especially well with a sectional or with chairs arranged in a circle. Leave about 16 to 18 in between the glass edge and your seating.

Questions We Hear Most

Who designed the Expose Coffee Table?

Alex MacMaster designed the Expose Coffee Table and launched it in 2010. It is one of the earliest MacMaster designs and is still made by hand in Worcestershire, England.

Why is it called the Expose Coffee Table?

The birch plywood edges of the legs are left exposed. Their fine layered stripes contrast with the walnut or oak veneer and show how the curved laminations are made.

What is the Expose Coffee Table's glass top like?

It is a round 10 mm (3/8 in) toughened glass top with a polished edge, so the three interlocking legs remain fully visible beneath it.

How big is the Expose Coffee Table?

It measures 43.3 in (110 cm) across and stands 13.8 in (35 cm) high.

What seating does the Expose Coffee Table suit?

Its round top suits a sectional sofa, a pair of sofas or a circle of lounge chairs. Leave about 16 to 18 in between the glass edge and the seats.

How long does a handmade Expose Coffee Table take?

Each Expose is made to order by hand in Worcestershire, England. Allow about 6 to 12 weeks in the workshop, plus shipping time. It is a piece you will keep for many years, so it is well worth the wait.
