The Sinclair coffee table is the creation of Zurich-based Lukas Haller, who is an architect at JOY architecture. The coffee table's frame is comprised of bent steel tubes that appear to be color powder-coated. The table top is colored safety glass.
Haller’s design aim was to make the coffee table a sort of house pet with an insect-like stance. The Sinclair coffee table is lightweight and easy to move from room to room, and the diamond shape of the top helps prevent shin-dents for those walking around it.
