Hi AT,
Help! We own a "Joe Ship" glass coffee table whose metal legs were designed by Philippe Starck. We need to replace the piece of hardware that holds the glass in to the legs but no hardware store, glass shop or furniture store seems to carry anything like it.
It is about 2 /12 inches tall. The bottom half is a heavy screw (about 1/3 inch diameter); this screws in to the table legs. The top is an inverted pyramid of hard black plastic on which the glass lies. This whole "screw" is then tightened with a wrench to hold the legs on to the glass tabletop.
Note: Include a pic of your problem and your question gets posted first.

If you know what the peice looks like and can draw it out or if you have a sample of the piece, a welding shop can make a custom, replacement part for it. It'll be more expensive than "off the shelf" replacement parts, but it can be done. Good Luck!
