Paradox Table Desires To Be A Flower Vase In Disguise - The Design blog

Combining Chinese handicrafts with Western industrial materials, Dutch designer Sander Brouwer has come up with a smooth yet stylish table that doubles as a flower vase. Dubbed “Paradox,” the functional furniture when used as a table safely hides the domestic flowers or plants inside, which can be seen from small holes on the surface. Presenting a base finished in porcelain and a top in metal, the Paradox presents a unique blend of conventional and modern. Ideal for compact spaces, the multifunctional table is sure to uplift the decor of your place.
