Fatty Tuna table, 2023; Rio Kobayashi and James Hague; Oak, acrylic paint (Courtesy of Rio Kobayashi, at the Design Museum) https://flic.kr/p/2qoLorQThis unusually shaped table is
a collaboration with painter James
Hague, the tabletop taking the
shape of Hague's painting of a fish.
Kobayashi had the idea to turn
the fish into a four-legged creature,
featuring a shark fin that doubles
up as a serving board.

It seems to me to be a rather odd shaped table for a dining table - not much room to sit at it....Unless, it is not meant to be a dining table.....

I think the "fin" may be removable so it can be used as a separate board - to put one's vegan "cheese" on? :-)

I like it - but the shark's fin irritates me! (My fault I'm sure.) It isn't a shark, the fin isn't in the right place, and how does it double up as a serving board.  I'm OK with the four legs, which I know is illogical.!
