Glass coffee table in the form of the sea

London-based designer Christopher DuffyDuffy) created a bright art object for the interior - a glass coffee table, as if carved directly from the earth's crust somewhere in the sea. The original "sea" table was named The Abyss, which translates as "Abyss". How can one not remember Nietzsche: "And if you look long into the abyss, the abyss also looks into you." It is very difficult to tear your eyes away from this work. A fragment of the ocean floor on the scale of a coffee table is a contact of the great with the small, and this is only with the help of ordinary materials. The designer noticed that layers of blue glass laid on top of each other give the effect of depth, as if in a real ocean or a pond. This technique was the starting idea when creating a glass coffee table. Layers of hardwood panels and layers of bluish glass were laid in such a way as to form the relief of the seabed with depressions and lagoons somewhere near the sandy shore.The glass table of the Abyss table by Christopher DuffyThe design team spent about a year,experimenting with glass, plexiglass and wood, arranging layers in a 3D representation of a geological map. The result exceeded all expectations! It seems impossible to put a cup on a glass coffee table, because it will immediately sink into the sea depths…a coffee table imitating a deep pondGlass tabletop in the form of a blue water surfaceis perfect for decorative tables, but it is unlikely to pass the test of durability and functionality in the kitchen. After all, work surfaces play an important role in the kitchen environment. Modern manufacturers make countertops from high-quality artificial stone, for example, like here.The glass coffee table Abyss from the designer Christopher Duffyglass coffee tableThe Abyss from designer Christopher DuffyThe Abyss from christopher duffythe abyss table by christopher duffyoriginal table in the form of a pond
