The Dusty Table is a permanently dirty table that seems to be covered in a thick layer of dust.
The unpolished nature of this table is said to suggest perfection, despite its lack of shine.
Made of maple, the Dusty Table is selling for almost $2000. I would much rather buy a clean table at this price.
Implications - There is a lot to be said for products that defy the expected or the intuitive, and this table is a perfect example of this surprising innovation concept in action. Today's luxury consumer wants products that stand out as unique and unexpected and that is definitely the case with this decidedly unusual design.
