Meta Cell Pool Table

Meta Cell Pool Table is an innovative and futuristic billiards table that exemplifies the intersection of avant-garde furniture design and conceptual storytelling, created by Iranian designer Abbas Sufi Nejad. This distinctive piece, which earned a Bronze A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category, draws its inspiration from hypothetical extraterrestrial influences and mysterious symbols allegedly left on Earth by alien visitors. The table's most striking feature is its sculptural base, featuring complex geometric forms that serve both aesthetic and functional purposes while embodying the concept of metamorphosing alien entities. Constructed using fiber-reinforced plastic with anti-dust finishes, the table combines durability with ease of maintenance, while its dimensions of 157cm width, 281.5cm length, and 85cm height adhere to professional billiards standards. The design's technical specifications include a substantial stone plate weighing 300kg, contributing to a total weight of 480kg, while maintaining an impressive load-bearing capacity of 1100kg. The table's sophisticated manufacturing process involves CNC milling and 3D printing techniques, resulting in precise, fluid forms that challenge traditional pool table aesthetics. The design's philosophical underpinning encourages users to question their surroundings and engage in deeper reasoning about unexplained phenomena, while its glazed finish ensures longevity and preserves its original appearance. This piece represents a successful fusion of functional furniture design with conceptual art, demonstrating how contemporary furniture can transcend its utilitarian purpose to become a thought-provoking conversation piece that challenges conventional design paradigms.
