Detail from one of a pair of console tops inlaid with koi carp

Thomas created a shoal of scagliola koi carp in collaboration with cabinet maker Rupert McBain, who came up with the concept. Scagliola is a composite material imitating marble and other hard stones. The inlaid fish seem to be swimming naturally through a black pool. The piece was technically challenging and was completed with a high level of fine detail.
