Every artwork has it’s inspirational background, it’s story... ‘Gigantic spider tables which bypass the forests of enormous Mangrove trees, light weighted and at the same time heavy glass Origamis, Chained up tables which seem to revolt against the immobility of the four legs freeing themselves in a movement of rings forming a chain.

The inspiration for this table came from observing the gigantic iron chains which are used for tying up the enormous transatlantic cruisers. We were intrigued to find a way to build a table structure in the shape of a chain, every bangle connected one with another.
