Brazilian design studio Alva has created a tables with cut outs covered in recycled blue tiles to look like the basin of swimming pools.
Aptly called Piscinas, which translates as swimming pools from Spanish, the collection is composed of five designs that can function as tables or seats.
Each is either partially or entirely covered in used tiles that the studio found places they said are known in Brazil as a “tiles cemetery” to give the pool-like effect.
Two of the tables also have rectangular cutouts like the shape of a pool.
One has a wooden top offsetting an indent covered in blue tiles, while the other is all blue and has a stepped cut out.
In order to play with the illusion of them being small pools, Alva created short videos of a ping-pongs bouncing over the tables and pockets with the sound of splashing water in the background.
