To develop a table with a mysterious nameThe studio's designers spent a whole year of painstaking work on "The Abyss", but in the end they managed to create a real work of art that repeats the relief of the ocean floor in three dimensions. Thanks to the multi-layered structure of wood and glass, a hypnotic abyss is created, captivating with its indigo-colored depth. The price of the table, which has an entire ocean inside, is $10,000, but even with that amount of money, it will not be so easy to buy it.
