Fluid Furniture

Nature-inspired design is quite a popular tool in the designer’s arsenal. Most designs are inspired by nature and natural phenomena. Some choose to celebrate it, others not as much. The Ray Table takes inspiration from the grandeur of the stingray. With its fluid form, the table’s legs mimic the aquatic beast, only to be punctuated by a glass top, offering a crystal clear view of the table’s organic base.

You may notice that the trophy base isn’t all wood. In a beautiful move, the design has an upper layer of shagreen (aquatic leather) perfectly adorning the form. Giving the form its most complimenting texture!
