Hal Dining Table
The Hal Dining Table is more sculpture than plain table, with a base made from a geometric, eight-faced wooden carving. Each piece is handmade by designer William Earle and this design, like his other works, is remarkable for its simplicity and elegance - both surprising features to find in something that could easily be bulky and distracting. The base is 29.5h x 29.5w and is topped with a thick glass table top. It is available in six finishes, as well as in a much smaller coffee table form. Price: $2000.

The pedestal is what mathematicians call a truncated rhombohedron.
From an artistic standpoint, while the pedestal is in fact symmetrical, the table looks balanced or off-kilter depending on how it's turned toward you.
This makes a cute philosophical "statement", to be sure, but good design looks good from any angle.
This klunky postmodernist heap would go straight to the dumpster, unless some college kids needed a table.
