The City of Pompano Beach commissioned Cara Lynch for two artistic Dominos/Chess Tables for the Senior Activity Center. “Wavy Tables” were inspired by the ocean and its movement. The tables and benches are cast concrete and mosaic.

The proximity to the ocean is an important part of life for residents of this community. This design is a playful take on the natural world. It incorporates bright and muted colored, repeating patterns, and symmetry. The design is exciting yet calming, unified by bright white concrete and tile. A geometric wave pattern graces the surfaces of the table and bench tops. Abstract waves wrap around the side of the table stand. The top of the tables include checker boards and a flat surface, so that the many seniors that utilize this center can play games with one another.
