Nendo has exhibit a transparent table at the Galleria Jannone in Milan. The meaning of transparent here, is not transparency that disappear visually, but the half-transparency that exists in gradations in the space between the transparent and the opaque. Transparent table is made from cast clear acrylic in a wooden form with a strong grain and assembled the resulting pieces to make a table made of ‘transparent wood’. The two tables have specific and different optical effects: at first sight the black table looks from wood, but when you see more close, a table reveals its transparency, while the other table formed a clear table, transparent at first sight, and later reveals a wooden shape.
