Orion Table

Designer Ini Archibong American
 Collaborator Matteo Gonet Swiss
 Manufacturer Glassworks Matteo Gonet GmbH

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 508

Designs by Archibong - who was born in California to Nigerian parents and trained in Europe - incorporate luxurious and technologically daring materials and influences from folklore, mysticism, astronomy, and music to create a distinctly futuristic aesthetic. His Orion side table improbably balances an opulent piece of Italian marble atop delicate, brightly colored glass legs - a feat worthy of its namesake, the vertiginous constellation that brilliantly shines from its perch in the nighttime sky.
