The base of the Coffee Table by Sandro Lopez, a designer currently based in Milan, Italy, could be likened to the wings of a butterfly. Although it looks to be in mid-flap, the dynamics of the movement is slightly off. Even with this is mind, it is hard not to appreciate the minimal and sculptural qualities behind the design.
Made out of wood, either beech or oak, and topped with a rounded glass surface, the Coffee Table by Sandro Lopez could fit into virtually any living or work space with ease. Carefully grounded on three points, the furniture piece has a lightness about it that really drives in the flighty feel of the design. It is available in cream, dark brown and natural wood finishings.
