Taxing Art is an interesting concept designed by Beta Tank. Taxing Art was created as a representation of the relationship between design and art and bureaucratic policies.

Their website explains: “Our Taxing Art research explores the convoluted kingdom of taxes and international customs laws, which continue to define man-made objects and creative practices against archaic categories.”

The T228/89 Table is made using 119 rotating pyramids. This sequence of photos highlights the quick transformation that the table takes from design object to sculpture.

Because, as Beta Tank states, it can never be both – in legal terms.

Beta Tank is a team of conceptual product designers. For more information on the Taxing Art project, check out their website: http://www.betatank.net/taxing-art.html

“These identical, nesting parts are designed for maximum efficiency from a single sheet of material and can be rearranged and recombined to form limitless combinations of useful configurations.”

The Mountain Table looks like a fairly standard dining table with a cherry finish. Then all of a sudden you eye hits a piece of stone popping out in the middle of the table…

Designed by Peter Pierobon, it looks as if the table was created in the way of a mountain and the slate used within the center portrays the mountain showing through. What’s even more interesting about this table is that the slate within provides support as the base of the table.

Peter Pierobon is based out of Vancouver, where he focuses on furniture design as well as sculpture. He has many beautiful tables, light fixtures and sculptures for viewing on his website – http://www.peterpierobon.com.
