Description

Assuming an object’s weight and texture, only to discover it is nothing like you expected, is a surprising and pleasant experience — and the Sponge table sets out to create exactly that.

It is made from carbonated (foamed) aluminum panel, a common Chinese building material that, once painted, becomes completely unrecognizable as metal. Its simple construction highlights the material and the almost alchemical act of elevating a standard building product into a luxury object: two raw panels with exposed pores support a top panel that is smooth on one side.

Sponge is offered in Natural Sponge or Synthetic Sponge colors.
