The piece features a striking cylindrical base finished in high-gloss black acrylic, its sleek surface emphasizing the purity and strength of the form.

The substantial circular top is crafted from thick, translucent acrylic with a softly frosted finish. Internally illuminated, it emits a warm, diffused glow, transforming the table into both a sculptural furnishing and an atmospheric light source. The subtle integration of the electrical component underscores Springer’s refined approach to blending luxury materials with dramatic functionality.

At once minimalist and opulent, the table reflects Springer’s mastery of clean geometry, rich finishes, and statement-making presence. Ideal as a side table, pedestal for a sculpture, or accent piece, it embodies the sophisticated glamour that defined his work and continues to make it highly sought after today. See less
