Fabulous Table Layers Wood and Glass to Shape Dramatic Ocean Depths



We’re sure you would like to bring some nautical wonder into your house with the Abyss Table, indeed a spectacular coffee table that mimics the depths of the ocean with stacked layers of wood and glass. The table is made by popular London-based furniture design company Duffy London; the limited-edition quantity makes a geological cross-section as fascinating as the sea, completing the table as a three-dimensional representation of a geological map. With the significant price of £5,800 (approximately $10,000), the Abyss Table is as much a work of art as a functional piece of furniture.
The Founder Christopher Duffy says, I was looking into sheets of thick glass at my glass manufacturer’s factory, and I noticed that how the material darkened as they added more layers the similar way the sea does as it deepens. I got an idea to use this effect to replicate a real piece of the earth’s sea bed. Similar to a mythical power had lifted an accurate rectangle straight from the earth’s crust to use as his personal ornament." The Christopher Duffy is famous for creating inventive and idiosyncratic products that combine art and function. The perfect examples is of their creative furniture designs comprise a Little Red Riding Hood-inspired table with axe legs, a coffee table supported by floating balloons, and a playful swing table with hanging chairs.

Greg Klassen Graceful Wood Tables Embedded with Glass Rivers



Greg Klassen is a furniture maker in the Pacific Northwest who catches motivation in its landscape and translates that into his work. His beautiful River Collection is a series of intricately designed and handcrafted tables that feature embedded bluish-green glass “rivers” running throughout each piece. The lovely jagged edges of the wood and their clear grains offer the perfect “shore” to mimic bodies of water.
Each of Klassen’s tables showcases stunning details within the wood; we grasp knots, swirling grains, and other imperfections that make his tedious work truly one-of-a-kind. It’s complemented by the specially-cut glass that attaches two separate pieces of wood or fills in its natural holes. Greg Klassen used trees that were sustainably harvested from the banks of the Noonsack River, so with every new table he made; discarded trees have a natural new life through his functional art.

Modern Beach Villas is ideal place to stay actually inspired by the Waves of the Ocean.



If you’re searching for new vacation destination, then Thailand’s Iniala Beach house is the perfect place for this summer vacations located in the city of Phuket. The modern technology based villas are ideal place to stay with perfect idyllic ocean views and world-class scuba diving. A-cero designed two out the ten interior spaces that includes the hotel, and their rooms stand side by side and share a huge pool. Joaquin Torres Arquitectos & Rafael Llamazares make up A-cero explain the thoughts behind their design choices. 

Both villas play with each other and achieve the opposite interior design between them. In the first room, the vertical lines flow introducing into the sight of the visitor and in the second room the curved lines move horizontally embracing the space around. It is a game of vertical and horizontal lines that wrap the space. There’re melodramatic characteristics to each of the luxurious interiors, such as the headboard that’s sculpturally attached to the ceiling and the white polycarbonate panels that line a wall. Both features are actually meant to make the best use of the reflection of natural light as well as mimic the ocean's waves. 

As far as guest rooms, A-cero also designed Aziamendi, the hotel’s 3-Michelin-Star restaurant, with the natural landscape in mind. The glass box provides you scenic and fully-immersive views, while wood panels also simulate the movement of water. The beautiful chairs are even upholstered in a specific shade of green that recalls the local vegetation. With this attention to detail and the outstanding scenery, we’re wondering when we can pack our bags.
