The Sisyphus table is a luxurious art object, a coffee table sure to create a conversation, not to mention provide endless hours of visual zen meditation. Starting as a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign, the table is the brainchild of Bruce Shapiro. Designed with computer controlled magnets, the table creates lines and patterns in the sandlike material, endlessly building and rebuilding new shapes and forms, like a never ending mandala. Available in side table and coffee table formats, the glass covering allows for regular use, while keeping the designs active underneath. Ranging from $1700-$10,000, the tables are hand built, and bring a sense of magic into your home. Via Colossal:
