The simplicity of the Ant Table by Oliver Nikoli shows that things don't always need to be complicated.
Taking the minimalist approach, Nikoli's Ant table is made up of wood and glass only. If you're wondering how the table got its name, look at it from the side. The two countertops sectioned at different levels and its four legs replicates the insect without making it look creepy. If there's anything one should take away form the Ant table, it's that less is more.
