Table Looks Like Running Water, Is Glass |
Designed by Tokujin Yoshioka for display in downtown Tokyo, these
tables are made to look like water running over a cliff. But they're
not really water, they're glass! Didn't see that coming did you? Oh,
you did. Well shit. Apparently the optical glass used (the same stuff
observatory telescopes are made of) is expensive but has properties
that lend to the whole rippling water illusion. But you know what, if
you want something like this without the expensive glass, I'm just the
man for the job. What you do is take rag and you jam it down the
kitchen drain. Then you turn the water on full blast. In a short time,
presto, waterfall countertops baby! Who needs expensive glass now? Not
us. Just make sure to make them at a friend?s house or fast food
restaurant bathroom. While not nearly as expensive for the initial
setup, the long term maintenance cost of my water countertop design can
be a real bitch.
