The prismatic table looks as though it would bring a lot of color into a person's life. Made out of [iridescent glass](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soda-iced-table) that has been given a multicolored finish, it reacts beautifully to light in order to chift in color from time to time. In this way, it almost feels as though it is never the same.

Designed by Patricia Urquiola for [Glas Italia](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simoon-collection), the prismatic table was shown at [Salone del Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salone-del-mobile) earlier this year. Appropriately dubbed Shimmer, the prismatic table is available in various sizes as well as finishes including glossy or opaque. True to form, it is would make an extravagant purchase as it rings in between $2,540 and $2,987. Yet it is quite extravagant.
