Benjamin Nordsmark created the Labyrinth Table to show how a well-known object like a table can be given an extra dimension by creating a small universe inside it. The labyrinth consists of several walls under a sheet of diamond glass, and inside of it, six characteristic figures can be moved around by handles underneath it. Most people possibly remember from childhood how they used to play with miniature figures in a small universe similar to the real world. And these nostalgic feelings are the ones that the table should generate in people’s minds and encourage them to explore and go deeper into the story of the labyrinth. The table was built up with a central core in steel to make it strong enough to last for decades and was later covered with 5 mm. of massive maple wood. A nice thing about this detail is that the handles stick to all the surfaces on the table because of the magnetism.
