The Soda iced table by Yiannis Ghikas for Miniforms is a glass and metal tabletop design displayed at the Dezeen Showroom. The table has a circular, clear glass top supported by a tubular metal frame with a geometric profile. The tabletop rests on intersecting supports that form angled legs and cross braces at the base. The structure uses metal finished in a neutral tone and tempered glass sized to accommodate standard dining or display use.
The design proportions place the glass surface approximately seventy-five centimeters above the floor and extend the base footprint to enhance stability. Welded joints are visible where the metal sections connect. The clear glass top is cut with polished edges. The display at the showroom positioned the table alongside other products for comparison of scale, form, and material use, highlighting the table’s transparency and structural minimalism.
