Shady Coffee Tables

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The 023 Table Asserts a Modern Presence Yet Blends into its Surroundings

— March 20, 2012 — Art & Design
The 023 Table by Andreas Aas brings the chicness of shaded material to the likes of any living room. Its contemporary composition relies on the perpendicular assembly of planes of PMMA plastic to produce a three dimensional form that intrigues from every perspective.

The grey tint of the thick but flat legs, the lower ledge and the upper surface appears darker where various layers overlap and faces turn into edges. The visual effect defines the otherwise blurred boundaries of the side table's outline so that its translucent impression commands attention as a mod and practical masterpiece.

Despite its small size, the 023 Table by Andreas Aas introduces an aesthetic punch to its surroundings. Its clean lines would guarantee a stylish look when arranged with minimalist furniture.
