Colombian Snow Edition Coffee Table

The Colombian Snow Edition Coffee Table seems to have elevated the normally prosaic coffee table design to a whole new level altogether. Nothing less than a masterpiece, the coffee table comes from the quarters of HelloVon Studios and has been already showcased in various design festivals all over Europe.

The intriguing and idiosyncratic craftsmanship of the Colombian Coffee Table is the perfect illustration of industrial design meeting art. What makes the table truly inimitable is its Corian base by DuPont and the Sentry glass top. Corian as many of you know is composed of acrylic polymer and alumina trihydrate hence using it as a base is nothing short of a stroke of genius.

However the addition of the Corian is just one aspect of the Snow Edition. Another highlight of the table is the exquisite and delicate pattern on the glass top which has been digital imprinted. The artwork gives it almost a whimsical quality and one can also privately commission a bespoke illustration making each piece unique and one of a kind.

The sensuous curves of the table, the atheistically built frame and the delicate artwork distinguish the Colombian Snow Edition Coffee Table from the throngs of tables. One is also privy to some wonderful play of light and shadow thanks to the glass surface and good old physics. At the risk of sounding repetitive the Colombian Coffee table is a work of art and placing beverages on it, is akin to committing sacrilege!
