My name is Alexey Steshak. I’m an artist, a decorator and an interior designer.Currently, I’m a designer who thinks up a project and completely accomplishes it with his own hands. I work in different areas of art: mosaic, interior design, modelling, furniture design and others. I made this bar table for a small cafe in Altai Republic, Russia. I used a pine board and regular ceramic tiles. It took me 2 weeks to complete the project.
