ML table, 2002

stainless steel, aluminium, polyester lacquer

limited edition

 

Is there a form of distortion between the feeling of power affirmed by the shape of this table and the propensity of its mirrored surface to blend into its surroundings? Does it not entirely reflect the surrounding space, enabling it to fully occupy the table?
Is it really a question of blending in?
Is this not rather a ruse to appear even larger and more powerful, as a way of appropriating space and challenging the hierarchy of power between a piece of furniture and the space that surrounds it?
