Arctic

The Arctic coffee table is made of metal strips with dynamic waves underneath which generate a visual illusion that the still table appears as moving. Meanwhile, the dark colour of the strips can emphasise the visual illusion of the dynamic waves. The strips are responsible to functionality with the supporting frames whilst the waves can be also used practically: the top corners can be used as CD stands and the bottom can be used a magazine stand. In Chinese Five Elements, the corresponding colour and direction to Water element are black and north. Therefore, I renamed it with the name of the largest ocean in the north, Arctic.
