This table is titled "Mandala Table" and made by Rotsen Furniture. The angle of its presentation works for some furniture, as it produces a dynamic composition. For this particular piece, the composition feels stressed, however. Mandalas are traditionally used for trance and meditation, so a balanced composition would be more appropriate in eliciting the feelings of harmony in the viewer that would coincide with the theme. If a table is meant to give viewers a calming, balanced feeling, the composition of this photo of the table does not succeed in producing the desired reaction.
In contrast, the three quarter view for this dining table which is made by the same company adds a dynamic feeling and is a successful composition. The materials and angles are showcased in a way that
draws the viewer in. The horizontal and vertical axis of the design are shifted
enough to make the composition dynamic, but not too much as to give the
image a feeling of being abstract or ambiguous.
