baghdad table i

The contemporary $39,600 Baghdad table is one ingenious creation of designer Ezri Tarazi. The concept behind the table is that each shape’s various identities are merged into a cohesive plan. The table shows the capital Baghdad, the new Babylon, a sign of multiple, ethnic, cultural and religious identities. The top of the new Baghdad table is made of tens of different industrial aluminum profiles, with each one with a specific purpose, which together make up a map of the capital of Iraq, ploughed by river Tigris. Available in dining or coffee table height, the Baghdad table might tempt you with its unique concept, but I would better buy some high-tech table for such a price.
