Mark Stoddart (born 1960) is a Scottish sculptor and furniture designer. He is known for his glass topped coffee and dining tables which incorporate bronze sculptures. Having had a difficult schooling until his severe dyslexia was picked up, he now does some charitable work as an ambassador for those affected by the condition. After leaving school he returned to Scotland and in 1994 set up his own business, Sculpt Art Creations where he began to produce pieces of limited edition works, inspired by his travels. After some success, Sculpt Art gave way to the company that bears his name today, Mark Stoddart International Designer. He has produced several table designs which feature a bronze cast sculpture acting as the base, appear to be emerging from the water surface, created by the glass. Some of his designs were made to a limited edition of only 99. In 2008 Sultan bin Mohammed bin Saud Al Kabeer purchased three tables that had horse-themed designs. Stoddart produced tables which featured a bronze sculpture of the Apollo Lunar Module as the base and a glass top inscribed with the words spoken by Neil Armstrong as he stepped onto the lunar surface in 1969. One of these tables is kept in the Scottish Parliament, others were purchased by astronomer Sir Patrick Moore and American astronaut Buzz Aldrin. Other high-profile clients include the jockey Frankie Dettori and Elton John. In 2014 he had retrieved a sculpture that he had loaned to a local hotel.
