It isn’t new, but we’ve only just laid our hands on some pictures to show you. Instead of polishing the silver, Branzi dipped it in acid, giving the already thin material an incredibly delicate aesthetic.

No this table isn’t half-assed. It’s just a paradigm shift in what we normally think a table should look like – some legs supporting a flat surface. Design Diana Halbeisen wanted to experiment with different forms. She thought about what a dinner table is used for, how things are placed, etc.

Although this table may look nice enough, it’ll actually drive any two people attempting to enjoy a quiet dinner crazy. Why? Each setting (plates, forks, spoons, glasses) is tethered to the opposite. So if one person uses the glass, the other can’t pick up theirs. Talk about coordination!
Designer: Stefano Merlo & Claudia Taddia
Magnetic Salt and Pepper Shakers come together in a warm embrace to add a stylish touch to your table setting.

Each side has holes in different places so as not to mix their contents, and the set can be a napkin weight when not sealed together.
