comments: the design of this table was inspired by quantum physics. yes, you read that correctly, quantum physics. interesting. the designer talks about how the transfer of energy between particles of matter informed the design. the base of the table, which is hand formed heavy gauge steel, implies the movement of the particles. love, love, love this! the lines of the base of the table are so fluid and light, which is in contrast to the strength and stability it provides to the top. pure genius.
