Stelios Mousarris takes inspiration from a spaceship takeoff for his latest coffee table design, that incorporates a rocketship flying off in a cloud of spoke as the inspiration for the shape of the legs. The futuristic design gives the table an artistic feel that adds character by bringing the focus to the the legs of the movable that are often overlooked.
The table, dubbed the 'Rocket Coffee Table,' is a return to nostalgic toys and playthings with a series of miniature wooden ships that are used as the connecting pieces between the glass table top and the legs. The wooden rocketships connect to a white cylindric cone and then a series of white bubbles that act as the exhaust of the vessel as it takes off into space.
