Designed in 1957 by Isamu Noguchi and reissued by Vitra, the Prismatic side table is inspired by traditional Japanese paper-folding techniques. The geometric shape of the small Prismatic table is made up of three elements in folded aluminium sheet with a top-of-the-range epoxy finish. Assembled, the elements form a three-legged table with a hexagonal top. The three components of the small Prismatic table come in different combinations of grey, creating kaleidoscope-like patterns when several tables are grouped together.
Vitra was founded in 1950 by Willi Fehlbaum and Erika Fehlbaum. The design furniture company Vitra is located near Basel, in Switzerland. Starting in 1981, the brand Vitra expanded and opened many subsidiaries around the world. The founders spotted the Eames chairs, including the Eames armchairs, the Vitra tables and the office chairs created by Charles and Ray Eames, Antonio Citterio or also the Bouroullec brothers.
