About the design
Seeking to pull inspiration from a burgeoning interest in Baroque textiles, the design of the table seeks to contrast the simple, clean lines of the Dwell Style, with the ornate intricacy of the Rococo Style. Playing with notions of color, texture, and surface quality, the table top contrasts the the more formally complexity of the base, putting issues of conventionality is at risk.

nice idea not very much more innovative than the current day ideas which you can find in the market at the moment. but it is smart and modern and fits into the market as a sellable object. wouldnt buy it myself but i see it definitely fitting into a modern bar restuarant type of place. interesting and modern chic.
