The 'Compression' dining table has been designed by Philippe Starck for the Italy-based Glas Italia as a minimalist furniture style created with function and form in mind.
The table is characterized by its crystalline construction that includes two pieces of plate glass for the legs and one for the topper, which are accented by a singular beam of wood in the base. This acts as a focal point that can be viewed from every angle and acts as a decidedly juxtaposed accent that minimalist design aficionados are likely to embrace.
The 'Compression' dining table is designed with different colors of wooden beams to add in a touch of additional character and is complemented by glass stools that further accentuate the crystalline nature of the set.
