Key Details from the Table and Markings (via Grok picture and detail upload):
Design: A 42-inch round pedestal table (per the "42"" RD" marking) with a 29-inch base diameter ("29"" RD"). The top features a dynamic yin-yang swirl: one half in highly reflective polished silver/stainless steel (creating wave-like light distortions), the other in warm copper-patinated metal for an organic glow. The black powder coated steel base is sturdy and modern, with a gray flared foot ring for stability.
Markings: "2052 #05 ZHZ": Likely a model/batch number ("2052"), piece sequence ("#05"), and abbreviated maker code ("ZHZ," a shorthand for "Zeleznak")."W0 # 379": Workshop prefix ("W0") and assembly number ("# 379"), suggesting multi-stage fabrication."SCR W0 # 379" and "Color1/Lunn": Notes on scratches/assembly ("SCR") and finishes ("Color1" for silver/copper duality; "Lunn" possibly a misspelling of "lune" for the moon-like swirl).
"Zeleznak": The clear signature, confirming the artisan or shop name
Condition and Style: Handcrafted with subtle imperfections (e.g., patina variations), evoking mid-century modern influences like Milo Baughman but with a philosophical yin-yang motif.
The Maker: Likely a Local Tahoe Metal Artisan Named Zeleznak. South Lake Tahoe has a thriving community of wood- and metalworkers creating high-end, "mountain modern" pieces for vacation homes and estates—often sold via local galleries, estate sales, or direct commissions. Your table aligns with this: artisanal metal furniture blending industrial materials with natural motifs, common in the area due to its ski-resort clientele seeking durable, sculptural accents.
Who is Zeleznak? The name doesn't match major Tahoe names. However, "Zeleznak" (or Železnák) is a rare Slavic surname tied to metalworking heritage.
No public records or online portfolios for a "Zeleznak" furniture maker in Tahoe surface.
Broader Context: Similar dual-metal tables appear in Tahoe-inspired designs (e.g., patinated copper with stainless accents for "Tahoe rusticity"), but yours stands out as uniquely signed. It's not mass-produced (no matches to Artistica Home or Galaxy)
