Saint Martin-based designer Alexandre Chapelin combined resin and stone to create a table that resembles ocean reefs (+ slideshow).
The table is formed from blue resin and a block of stone, which has been sliced into layers in order to create the appearance of depth within the "sea".
The liquid resin is poured over the marble layers in stages, and has a different formula at each level to create several shades of blue.
The table is the latest in Chapelin's series of resin pieces titled La Table.
"My natural stone models are based on the island of Saint Martin in the French West Indies," said Chapelin.
"I take a block of natural stone and I include resin to create a compact block [that gives the] impression of having the ocean in your living room."
British design brand Duffy London created a similar oceanic table using layers of wood and glass to create the appearance of a watery abyss.
Other unconventional tables include Studio Job's "autobiographical" Train Crash table, which depicted a head-on collision between steam engines, and Richard Yasmine's Glory Holes design, which featured removable brass dildos as legs.
