Daniel Gary I'm not sure about the table, but the chairs look like Phillipe Starck's Louis Ghost chairs. They're very popular now, and I've linked to sa website that claims to sell them--- other than this, I don't know where to buy them.
I love all the crystal-clear surfaces in this room; the table and chairs play off the open view to the sky, and the mirror makes it all look even larger. It's kind of the emperor's new furniture; the room has a lot of fun with illusions.
I love the idea of a glass (or plexiglass) table. For one thing, it's super practical - so easy to clean! Plus, it's a blank slate for table settings. This table would look terrific with so many different types of dishes and accessories. I like it with these Phillipe Starck chairs, but I think it would also look cool with something more substantial - it would be interesting to pair it with chairs that have a bit of texture or a crazy color.
This is the photo I originally used to depict this trend. I really like the way the modern plastic mixes with the rococo elements of the mirror and chandelier. It's not exactly Star Wars, but it definitely has a modern/trad vibe.
8. Odyssey. This trend is all about decorating for the future - decorating for a galaxy far, far away. I've always liked how this room (especially those Louis Ghost chairs) melds futuristic, translucent materials with traditional, even rococo, shapes.
I just couldn't get away from including this photo in this book. While it's no fun to sit on plastic in the hot summer (ouch!), there's something undeniably summery about all of this lucite and glass.
Hilary Swank's Gucci gown incorporated ombre, sequins and feathers in a light palette, which reminded me of this dining room. It adds the right amount of sparkle and shine through the glass, crystal candelabra and mirror frame.
This appears to be a lucite dining set. When paired with the elegant large mirror and the glass ceiling, it offers a crystal-like quality of magic to the room.
