PLANET X Table

Planet X Table is a reflection around human visual perception of Nature and Cosmos, a play with the process by which the physical energy received by sense organs forms the basis of perceptual experience.
Planet X Table is a meditation on perception — an exploration of how the eye and mind translate the vastness of nature and the cosmos into tangible experience.
Inspired by the hypothesis of an unseen planet orbiting in the far reaches of our solar system, Planet X evokes the mystery of distant matter suspended in space and time.
At first glance, its materials seem unfamiliar, almost weightless — as if joined in zero gravity. In reality, the tabletop is crafted from two Burled Poplar planks, their live edges and swirling grain recalling planetary atmospheres. The two fragments merge within a crystal-clear medium, frozen like cosmic ice.
Three transparent pillars pierce and support the circular top in apparent levitation, playing with light and refraction, concealing their structure within luminous, extraclear volumes. The result is an illusion of suspension — a fragment of our planet transformed into an object that feels extraterrestrial.
The rare Burled Poplar, naturally deformed and richly figured, undergoes a special colored-oil finishing that amplifies its inherent holographic quality. This treatment reveals a vibrant, shifting depth — as if the wood itself were reflecting multiple dimensions of light — making the material almost unrecognizable, suspended between the organic and the cosmic.
Between gravity and light, Planet X Table reveals the invisible — where earthly matter becomes a mirror of the universe, and perception transcends reality.
