Palette is a coffee table for mixing colors inspired by the Homage to the Square series of Josef Albers. Transfering the squares into three dimensional space, it invites the user to participate in the color experiments of the Bauhaus icon. New color mixes are created when the top layers are interchanged among tables in simple sliding motions like platters to serve color. Dynamic and playful, Palette empowers the user to adapt it to their mood and refresh their space in easy steps. It is also modular as multiple tables may be arranged side by side to form a larger coffee table.
