Confectionery-Inspired Glass Tables

Sebastian Herkner Designs 'Delight Glass Tables' for Pulpo

— January 16, 2018 — Art & Design
Taking inspiration from the dusted covering of Turkish delight, designer Sebastian Herkner creates this series of 'Delight Glass Tables' for German brand, Pulpo. Herkner is based out of Offenbach, Germany and implements the look of the Turkish dessert into his designs. Inspired by the icing sugar aesthetics, he adds a frosty finish to his work. The glass side tables have exteriors that resemble a round, "toadstool-like" shape, consisting of handblown glass, followed by a coat of a matte, clear finish.

The Delight Glass Tables come in a variety of sizes that range from four different colours -- 'transparent,' 'smokey gray,' 'white,' and 'aubergine.' The Pulpo Crystal collection will be launching later this month at the IMM Cologne and Maison&Objet trade shows and is set to feature the creative tables.
Trend Themes
1. Confectionery-inspired Design - Opportunity for businesses to incorporate the aesthetics and themes of sweets and desserts into their products or designs.
2. Handblown Glass Furniture - Potential for companies to create unique and artisanal handblown glass furniture pieces for a modern and artistic touch.
3. Frosty Finishes - Innovation opportunity to develop products or surfaces with a matte, clear finish that mimics the look of frosting or icing sugar.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture Design - Disruptive innovation potential for furniture designers to explore new concepts inspired by confectionery and incorporate handblown glass techniques.
2. Home Decor - Opportunity to introduce confectionery-inspired glass tables and related frosty finishes as unique home decor items, appealing to consumers who enjoy playful and artistic design elements.
3. Event Planning and Design - Innovative idea for event planners and designers to incorporate confectionery-inspired furniture with frosty finishes to create memorable and visually stunning experiences.
