The X-Table is a new product from furniture designer Michael Bihain. The sleek modern table is made out of just one piece of steel. The foot of the table—which is in the shape of an x—is cut from the surface of the table. The two pieces are connected by criss-crossed steel bars.
Michael Bihain’s X-Table doesn’t need a vase on it to make it stand out. And that’s a good thing, because a vase would fall right through the middle of the X-Table.
