Designer Tokujin Yoshioka has created magnificent tables and benches that look like they're covered in water. They're made out of a glass used in telescopes that creates the illusion of a waterfall while the light reflects off of the glass.
His creation is actually a part of an optical glass bar called “Waterfall.†The waterfall was formed by Tadao Ando for the architecture, Olafur Eliasson for the installation and Tokujin Yoshioka for the glass bar.
