The Iceberg table is truly a remarkable work of art and design. Its creative shape and its use of natural elements to raise awareness about global warming make it a standout example of functional design. The use of two glass panels that can rotate to maximize support and to create a sense of dynamism, along with the iceberg-shaped white acrylic, bring this piece to life. The overall effect is one of awe and admiration, and it is truly a worthy recipient of the A' Furniture Design Award.

I am truly in awe of this stunning furniture design. The idea to create a piece inspired by an iceberg is truly remarkable, and the fact that the designer was able to bring it to life is simply remarkable. The use of two slides of clear glass and white acrylic to create the look of an iceberg is simply genius. I love the fact that the glass panels have the ability to rotate, giving the piece a sense of dynamism and movement. The idea of representing the water level in the past and future through the two glass panels is a truly thought-provoking concept. The Iceberg Table is a beautiful piece of art that captures the essence of nature and global warming in one breathtaking design.

I'm so impressed by Sameh Emam's work, Iceberg! This design is a perfect example of how design can be used to bring attention to global warming and the effect of melting ice. The shape of the table is such an interesting way to represent how water levels have changed over time, and the combination of the two glass panels and the white acrylic gives a beautiful and modern look. The idea to make the lower glass panel rotate to maximize supporting options is genius! It is truly a unique and inspiring piece of furniture design. Congratulations to Sameh Emam for winning the A' Design Award with Iceberg!
