Blow Up Side Table

A small table built from light and empty space as much as from steel.

Designed by Fernando and Humberto Campana — the São Paulo-based Campana brothers, known for turning industrial materials into playful, sculptural furniture — the Blow Up side table suspends a glass top over a lattice of chrome-plated steel rods. Light passes between the rods and through the glass rather than around a solid base, so the piece reads as considerably lighter than its footprint suggests.

It is small enough to work as an occasional table beside a sofa or chair, with a top sized for a lamp, a drink, or a small stack of books.
