The design plays playfully with geometric and organic forms and combines various materials into a distinctive whole.

The glass tabletop has an organic, undulating shape and is supported by two transparent glass panels. These glass uprights also feature a playful wavy edge and subtle matte or etched sections. In the center, the wooden element forms the visual focal point of the table. Two warm wooden cylinders are connected by three stacked wooden spheres, giving the table a sculptural appearance.

The combination of transparent glass, warm wood, and distinctive forms is strongly reminiscent of Italian postmodern and Memphis-inspired design styles . It is a piece of furniture that is not only functional but also attracts attention as a standalone design object.

The precise designer or manufacturer has not been confirmed. The design shows similarities to various European designs from this period, but without original documentation, the table is therefore described as postmodern vintage design and not attributed to a specific designer. See less
