As though made from mercury, the 'Table R' collection looks like it was fashioned from melted metal and then hardened to retain its web-like design. A completely contemporary look, its holey surface does not seem to facilitate any practical uses. However, in some of the photographs, I saw a simple glass top placed on the tabletop, creating a more functional piece of furniture
Designed by Il Hoon Roh, 'Table R' will be shown at the 100% Design Show in London later this year. Made in two versions, each were created out of both fabric and metal. For even more photos of this stunning table, visit the links provided.
