There are some things that are aspirational. And then there are some things that are out of this world on the Richter Scale. Which is probably an apt turn of phrase to use when you consider the Meteor Table by Chista.
It's as if someone took our childhood obsession with the Planetarium, and of the giant rocks from galaxies far, far, away...and blew it up to monster-truck proportions. Natural teak root, cast entirely in bronze, we're not even sure if, at 750 pounds, our apartment could withstand the weight of it. How do they move it in? Of course, waiting six months for it, we'd have plenty of time to figure this out. And, who knows if we'd even be able to get one? After all, there's only 6 of them. What if someone jumped the line? But, then again, we'd need that time to gather up the $55,000 needed to purchase it. But hang on, six months from now would be...our birthday! Hmm...let's add it to our wish list and see who springs for it. Available at Vivre, hint, hint.

What a very expensive monstrosity.
Oy...
I'm all for innovation and avant garde and all that... but,
No, nah-ah.
it is interesting...i wouldn't be putting my pens or coffee mugs on it though.
There's so much wrong with this.
are you guys kidding me?! this is FABULOUS.
What in the world? From the form to the weight to the price, I can't even appreciate/humor this as a conceptual piece.
I saw it in person at their showroom last week, and trust me, it is a magnificent piece of furniture & art. Seriously, just stunning in person, this image doesn't do it justice.
It is kinda neat, but not really new. It looks like those old tables and picture frames from the 70s made of tree stumps. What were those called?
yuck !!
Hello Meteor Table lovers out there
To stay on topic, ...we've made a floating meteor table similar to the chista one, but this doesn't cost that much, but then again its not as colorful either, not the color gold that's for sure.
