The Juggler table is a re-imagined [dining room table](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnolia-extendable-dining-table) inspired by Lebanese culture, cuisine and traditions. Made by Beirut-based designers SAYAR&GARIBEH, the gorgeous table was designed for sharing food between a large group of people. The table is comprised a multitude of [ceramic bowls and plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/platoo-interactive-sensory-meal-plate) in varying sizes and heights that sit in a "cloud-like frame." The table rests on six white marble legs and are fastened by gold pipes. The table is a [deconstruction of the classic table shape](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sklo) and removes excess space by eliminating everything that doesn't maximize function.

The designers behind the company believe that eating is "aggressive by nature" and wanted to create a table that acts as an extension of their culture's rituals and ideals.
