# Sculpture-Like Geometric Coffee Tables The 'Skim' Coffee Table is a Mix of Marble and Glass By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2022-07-11 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skim-coffee-table References: [homecrux](https://www.homecrux.com/skim-table-karim-rashid/174819/) & [aatc.it](https://www.aatc.it/en/karim-design/)  The 'Skim' coffee table has been designed by Karim Rashid in collaboration with A.A.T.C. as a sculptural piece of furniture for the modern home or office. The coffee table consists of a two-layer tabletop achieved with [marble and glass](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soda-iced-table) to give it a strong presence, regardless of the space it's placed in. The table is supported by a [hemispherical marble base](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fels-coffee-table), which gives it the appearance of teetering on top with a sense of illusive balance. The 'Skim' coffee table highlights the capabilities of A.A.T.C. when it comes to marble processing and will no doubt speak to those with an interest in [museum-like decor pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monumental-table). The table speaks to the increasing demand for naturalistic decor pieces.
