Who wouldn't want to impress their guests with a life-sized pig to serve the drinks. The Pig table is one of a three piece collection of animal furniture by Front which also include a life-sized Horse Lamp and Rabbit Lamp.
Front started in 2003 by a design group of four. All members are involved in the design process from initial discussions and ideas to final product. Their works are based on common discussions, exploring and investigations about different topics. And the final products often communicate a story to the observer about the design process, conventions within the product field or the material it is made of.
The tray of the pig table is mounted to a unit that is already attached to the pig. The angle at which the tray sits is fully adjustable and can be rotated if the ground is uneven. The Pig table arrives with the Moooi Smiley Logo and beauty spots. Available in black only.
