The Wave City Table's Design is Inspired by the Popular Film Inception

People familiar with the movie Inception and its reality-bending visuals will immediately recognize why the Wave City table was inspired by the popular film.

The designer of this coffee table is Stelios Mousarris, who previously came out with a similar version made from wood. This version of Wave City is features in a matte black color that gives it a more modern look that is in keeping with the contemporary skyline it features. The coffee table folds over and while its surface is smooth, its interior reveals building models in various shapes and sizes.
