The conceptual 'Pinji' table is a stylish furniture piece that takes a different approach to home decor by opting for a slightly off-kilter design to infuse an unexpected touch into modern spaces. Designed by Tony Lee, the table features a round upper section that is slightly off-center and features the support poking through from the bottom, which doubles as a vase for flowers. While this kind of design would otherwise cause stability issues, the table has had the center of gravity shifted to the base to prevent unnecessary accidents.
The 'Pinji' table has been designed in two options including one with a geometric base and another with a conical shape, which helps to make it perfect for blending in with the other textures or styles in your space.
