Elegant and simple like a draped tablecloth, each Illusion table is hand-made and thus unique. The Grand Illusion and Illusion tables are completely clear while the Ice Illusion is frosted and lends itself to being lit from underneath with the Clip Light.
Essey is the story not of the evolution of design but rather of an evolution in design.
In the world of nature shapes are defined by their function, it forms the very essence of our natural world.
In the world of design, shapes often only bear slight resemblance to their function, if at all. How many times have we looked at something and wondered what it is, or what it is used for? The world of design is not always in harmony with the world of nature and it is this imbalance that needs to be corrected.
The belief of Essey founder John Brauer, that function should be representative of natural form, is at the very core of the company and is at the heart of its design philosophy - Symbolic Functionalism.
Essey have received international acknowledgement from the most distinguee design awards: Red Dot design award, IF design award, Good Design Award and honorable mentions from around the world.
In Italy, the Illusion table have been selected as one of the 100 most beautiful objects and will be buried as a cultural heritage for 100 years in a dedicated park.
