"Sitting is good, but sitting on nothing is more poetic," says French architect and designer Philippe Starck of his Crystal Side Table (2024), which doubles as a stool. A material often associated with fragility, Starck's glass is tempered and UV bonded to give it a high load resistance. Its transparency gives the illusion of floating, as if the sitter is suspended mid air. It features masterful yet discreet details, such as mirror-polished stainless-steel feet. At once delicate yet substantial, the side table is perfect for living spaces, hallways, or as a bedroom accent piece. Made in Italy.
