The UP Coffee Table by British designer Christopher Duffy  is an interesting centerpiece that is sure to strike up a creative conversation.

According to the designer, ‘working with the illusion of levitation and buoyancy, the UP coffee table is a playful trompe l’oeil, giving the impression that a piece of glass is being suspended by small balloons. This table is a limited edition of twenty, hand made in the UK, and designed without compromise to manufacturing processes, and so are extremely time consuming to create.’
