The 'alwa' table collection from Pulpo Products is designed by Sebastian Herkner and features two sizes and four color options. The [transparent tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soda-iced-table) are available in amber, smoky grey, transparent and white shades and are each handcrafted using lightweight glass materials.

Known for bringing opulence to life through minimalist design details, Sebastian Herkner does just that with the alwa table collection. The designer transforms a traditional aesthetic of light glass with sharp edges to one where gentle contours and larger masses are more prevalent. The result is "raw, hot, glass masses with natural bubbles" that create "an imprint of the structure, including the uneven, sensitive surface."

This [minimalist collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/silos-collection) of [glass furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cassina-2) marries form with function and speaks do design lovers' appreciation for redefined luxury home goods.
