This Table Will Self-Destruct

3 people recommended this item

Description

A really interesting design concept, Studio 1am's This Table Will Self Destruct features a concrete surface from which a single pixel is removed every time the table is produced. Each table, then, is completely unique, and the gulf between the first pieces and the latest in the edition becomes wider with each table produced. The concrete surface is available on either a white or black surface and rests on a reclaimed walnut base.
