Astro Collection

Astro Table

William Waris

The Astro Table draws inspiration from mid-century space-age design, blending playful geometry with refined simplicity. Its curved surfaces and floating form reflect the optimism and experimentation of the era. The table became inspiration for the Orbit Collection.
