Barbara Hepworth's sculptures, considered among the first abstract works in the history of English art, inspired the birth of the Barbara table.

Although interested in form and abstraction, Hepworth's (1903 - 1975) art was primarily about relationships: not just between two forms presented side by side, but between the
|
|
human figure and landscape, color and texture, and, most importantly, between people on an individual and social level.

The sculptural form, generous size, fine woods and marble all contribute to Barbara's luxurious, contemporary look.
