Pair of Trompe L'oeil Tables

Made in Spain in the late 20th century, this Pair of Trompe l’Oeil Tables exemplifies an experimental approach to furniture design, inspiring a lively curiosity about abstraction, illusion, and materiality. Despite their visual suggestion of flatness or weightlessness, the tables are indeed three dimensional and physically quite substantial. The painted details and simplified edges – suggesting a table cloth atop a dining table – articulate a trompe l’oeil effect that humorously plays with perception.
