Room AI – Post-Apocalyptic Vignette with Perforated Steel Table -

An upcycled coffee table made from a perforated galvanized steel case anchors this post-apocalyptic living room vignette, its mint paint chipped to reveal rust and a plywood repair. A vintage transistor radio, crackle-glazed mug, teal glass jar, and a coil of copper wire layer texture and story. Sunlight scatters through the holes, casting mottled shadows. A woven jute ottoman with webbing strap adds utility, expressing salvage, resilience, and rugged industrial beauty.
