Peter Vallas — March 14, 2011 — Art & Design
Lucas Munoz at enPieza! Studio combined one of his childhood favorite toys with his impressive design skills. This intricate table structure may be unlike any you have seen before, that is because its surface is comprised of 12,000 marbles, or otherwise known as canicas in Spanish.
The Knikas Table by enPieza! Studio features sliding metacrylathe drawers so that the marbles inside are easily accessible and customizable to change the color and theme of the awesome piece of furniture. The minds behind the Spanish design shop thought it was an amazing idea that the person owning the table could shape up the marbles to any design of their choosing. They thought of it as pixels ion a computer screen, and as long as you have the marbles any design is capable at your hands.
The table by enPieza! measures in at 240x120 cm and the frame is made up of iron that is coated in white paint. The white background acts as the primer for the brilliant marbles that are displayed on top. No price is set for this magnificent and fun piece of furniture but you'd have to win a lot of marble games as a kid to obtain the amount needed for this spectacle.
