Evoking an elegant apparition or a magician’s trick, the otherworldly Illusion Side Table seems to float above the floor. Designer John Brauer was inspired by tablecloths on round tables he spotted in a Copenhagen cafe. “Each cloth was square and almost touched the floor.” It took Brauer several months to realize his vision of creating a tablecloth draped over an invisible table, because every workshop he visited told him it was impossible.

This striking design is handmade in Germany from acrylic, with each table being unique. Use it as an everyday side table for serving cocktails and tea, displaying books or a plant, or simply as a conversation-sparking art object in your home. The Illusion Side Table is conceived in the spirit of Symbolic Functionalism and also Surrealism, an art movement that is represented extensively in MoMA’s collection. The table measures 17.4h x 16”diam. and has a weight capacity of 55 lbs. It arrives with a protective film that should be removed before use.
