Prismatic Table

Filed under: Decor

Here's a piece of furniture for those who love geometric shapes and clean lines. The Prismatic Table's design is inspired by the art of origami, although instead of folding paper it's made by folding aluminum. It has three legs, a hexagon-shaped top, and the appearance of being in three pieces. It was originally created back in 1957 by Isamu Noguchi and has just recently been put into production. It is available from Vitra in either black or white, and goes for around £239.

George Nelson Eye Clock

I'm usually pretty positive and like most of what I post on here, but I also get creeped out fairly easily and can honestly say this George Nelson Eye Clock design is not for me. I just don't need a large mechanical eye staring down at me while I'm trying to work, or relax and watch TV, or whatever. But designed in 1957 and reissued by Vitra, it's amazingly timeless (tacky pun intended!) in its appeal. Even if I'm not crazy about it I can appreciate the unique design and the fact that it really doesn't look like it was originally born 50 years ago. £196
