*Abstract Model

This table is a product of recyclable materi-als. Using old mason jars and other storage jars, the table comes together by a hexago-nal metal band that wraps around the edges of the bottles. The bottles play the role of reclection, refraction, and transpar-ency. a sealant is used between the bottles to support the weight of the bottles and the live loads on its surface.
