Light-Refracting Furniture


The Prism Table by Maurie Novak Creates a Geometric Rainbow

The Prism Table looks different from every angle. The Prism Table refracts light through the use of crystal glass, creating geometric rainbows that could easily be mistaken for a colorfully intricate display of strings. It is hard to say what would be more impressive. While the latter is considerably more artisanal, the use of light allows the possibilities to be nearly endless.
Designed by Maurie Novak for MN Design, an emerging architectural and design practice located in Melbourne, Australia , the Prism Table boasts a stainless steel frame. The materials on their own lend a more minimalist and modern design yet it is undeniable that on the whole, the Prism Table is delightfully whimsical and artistic. It is astounding how something so simple can look so complex.
