This coffee table is inspired by the postmodernist movement and intended for a gallery waiting room. This design is led by the idea of creating a fun, far-fetched table that still provides the same functions of a traditional coffee table. To do this, the table top features a soft and highly textured pattern which can be used when paired with the provided coasters. The legs then help to grab attention and enforce these ideas: the asterisk grabs attention, the arrow guides the attention, and the circle coasters are the final destination. These bold shapes and vibrant colors then show off to other coffee tables how fun yet functional it is, almost saying "see?"
