Life is too short to be too serious
Release of the table Oli. Oli is an interpretation of magic and illusion. Life is too short to be too overly serious all the time. It certainly does not hurt to have a companion that can see the bright spots in life. Oli is your companion.
This table is Tim Burton and Memphis in a new interpretation and a new garb, full of fun and illusions that stimulate and hone your senses.
The ellipse is in a strong blue color, in contrast to the tabletop. The wood of the tabletop is soft and well-crafted, rich in details, depths. The ellipse is metallic blue with a cold surface, no further depths but with a mirror reflection in the middle, which replicates the geometric shapes of the ellipse to infinity and creates complete confusion of where the table starts or ends. The two constructions have very different character and speak to your senses. The cherry on top are the fluorescent acrylic plexiglass sheets, giving a special touch of light and color and contrast to the natural laws of material composition.
Oli was presented at The Danish Cabinetmakers Autumn Exhibition 2020. This edition 2020 took place in Copenhagen’s historical Tivoli Gardens for a celebration of illusions.
