It's obvious where it's heritage comes from, but there's something lighter and more fragile about this piece. I like it a lot, but could only see it in a very Asian inspired room. Perhaps a modern, "natural" bathroom or something along those lines. It's overhead view is a slice of a clock which implies it's timelessness and I agree, marvelous piece of work, but I would love rto see it's base in a more exotic wood and a more interesting glass top. But I'm loving it. regardless. I was ready to call this an “anorexic knock off of the classic noguchi coffee table”, but the more I look at it, the more I like it.
