Aeolos Table by Yannis Georgaras for Varangis
Yannis Georgaras has designed the Aeolos table for the Greek manufacturer Varangis.
From Varangis:
Reminiscent of a wind-wheel patiently waiting for the first gusts of a morning breeze, the same gentle wind which pervades Homer’s epics and filled Odysseus’s sails, this elegant dining table is an optically rewarding exercise in the sensibility of wood. Three medium-density fiberboard planks, lacquered or veneered in high quality timber, such as ebony or olive ash, are imaginatively manipulated to form a base supporting a round table top of transparent tempered glass.

It would be really impressive and even more interesting if it had been cut out of one piece of wood. Don’t care for the white one, but the wood grain is nice. Still, I’d prefer if it was a solid block of wood.
