Crystal Ice Furniture by Tord Borntje for Swarovski is a set of glass encased stools, tables and benches that give the illusion of floating icicles.
The crystals were densely wrapped for the ice effect and the glass includes a mirrored bottom.
While these designs do not look very comfortable, they would make for a great piece in any home and create a wonderful winter wonderland in your living room.
