Fredrikson Stallard's Atlantic Table is a sculptural furniture piece that stands on a dynamic and handcrafted base. Its sculptural frame is made of a [crinkled and polished metal](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twist-side-table) that has been molded by hand.

Referencing the freedom of natural and organic forms, Fredrikson Stallard creates a bold home accessory that distorts and reflects its surroundings.

The Atlantic Table juxtaposes the straight and linear with the [fluid and organic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paul-coenen-1). The furniture piece is solid and heavy but still manages to embody a strong sense of freedom and movement.

Whether reminding one of crumpled tin foil or a mountainous rock formation, this furniture piece is sure to become an instant focal point when displayed in any modern home. The table doubles as a [sculptural art piece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monumental-table) and looks best in large-scaled and monumental interiors.
