The relationship between architectural practice and artistic creation in the work of Juan Navarro Baldeweg (Santander, 1939) has marked out a territory with few limitations throughout the author’s creative career.  That concern for experiment, beyond the limits of architecture, has found one of its best examples in the project titled La mesa (The table, 1974-2005), made up of a large stage for positioning a number of pieces, in which balance, gravity and structural tension make up a unique work of art.

The sculpture comprises 31 works, positioned on a unique structure of 130 x 220 x 950 cm with a laboratory-style continuum in which the structural and formal combinations multiply on the large surface of the table to create dynamic spaces laden with meaning.
