Design inspiration for furniture can possibly come from a natural form or maybe a manmade architectural monument. Colossus Side Table by Seletti is a suitable example of the latter. It takes a cue from the Colossus of Rhodes from ancient Greek mythology and is designed by Studio Job in the shape of a foot.
If you didn’t know, the Colossus of Rhodes was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Erected on the Greek island of Rhodes, it was a massive statue created in honor of the sun god Helios. The statue was destroyed by the great earthquake in 226BC and the only remains are a foot, which has been replicated for this side table design.
The designers have re-imagined the exact right foot of Colossus and envisioned it as a handy side table that will amaze people with its one-of-a-kind design and historic significance. The table is made of fiberglass and painted in white for a sophisticated look. It is part of the Blow collection, a result of Seletti and Studio Job collaboration that started a few years back.
