Hella Jongerius reveals that objects are not always what they seem with her limited-edition Niebla Table.
Known for her interest in the actual design of an object rather than the making process, Jongerius’s Niebla Table questions dematerialisation.
The massive solid-wood surface seems to disappear into the atmosphere when viewed from the side, alluding to the idea that it is not actually as massive as it appears when viewed head-on. The table's simple structure allows all the attention to be drawn to the Dutch designer's exploration into making objects vanish.
As the table no longer seems to be a piece of symmetrical furniture, one is able to look at it and its design process in a radically different manner.
