Italy, 2000s
Designed by Patricia Urquiola for B&B Italia in 2003, this pair of elegant Lens side tables creates an optical play. Set into a slender steel square frame, the tops and sides are formed of two sheets of glass sandwiching a lenticular film that refracts light. The two tables, the larger of which has two open sides, may be used together or separately. The larger table is a 16.75-inch cube and the smaller is a 12.88-inch cube.
