Ripples Dining Table

Ripples bench by Toyo Ito, winner of the Compasso d competition'Oro 2004, turned into a collection of various types of furniture. Among them is the Ripples table with a transparent glass top, which is an impressive structure made of a laminated composite of five different hardwoods, namely walnut, mahogany, cherry, oak and ash. The colors and directions of the fibers are purposefully defined to create an elegant polychromatic effect. This unique and poetic wooden work, created in a strict aesthetic framework, resembles a fluid movement, similar to the ripple effect created by a stone thrown into the water.
The countersinking of the rims is completely made by hand. The top is made of tempered glass with a thickness of 12 mm.
