If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, you would call it a duck, but sometimes you can be wrong, as you would be with this Domingos Tótora Agua Table. It may look like a rock, and it may even roll like one, but this glass is not being held up by rocks. You ask, "What could it possibly be then?" Cardboard!
If you don’t believe me, check out the gallery. The series of photos proves that the Domingos Tótora Agua Table has been constructed from cardboard. I think this is absolutely ingenious. Just hit up a recycling plant, grab some glue and you’re halfway there! To be fair, there is much more care and hard work involved, as the final product attests to.
