The VERTIGO table carries a secret beneath its surface. The name VERTIGO means dizziness, often caused by a fear of heights. Anyone looking down at the table’s glass surface (made from ‘spy glass’) will notice a hidden function: an additional pane of mirror glass in the lower shelf, which creates an optical illusion, a feeling of bottomless depth. The idea for the special table was born one day when Eero Koivisto was standing in a lift. When he looked in the mirrors inside the lift, Eero discovered the multi-dimensional effect created by two facing mirrors.

The VERTIGO table combines an austere design with storage space. The lower shelf has room for books and magazines, but can also be used as an innovative frame for much-loved items. Placing an object on the mirror causes it to expand into infinite reflections.

Double reflecting glass. Support in chromed metal.
