MENSA PHYSARIA

The Physaria Table: collaboration with designer Barbara Hagara

Drawing inspiration from the Physaria plant, known for its distinctive rounded seed pods, the design of this 9-meter-long dining table brings organic form and function into the gallery space. Much like the plant’s ability to thrive in challenging environments, the table becomes a resilient focal point in the gallery, adapting to diverse needs—from formal dinners to casual gatherings—while maintaining its sculptural elegance.

Crafted from materials that reflect the earthy tones of Physaria, the table invites tactile engagement, offering a grounded yet dynamic presence within the gallery's modern aesthetic.

Its elongated form encourages communal dining, fostering connections and interactions much like the interconnected ecosystems where Physaria thrives. At once functional and symbolic, the table serves as a reminder of how design, inspired by nature, can bring people together in shared experiences, blending art, environment, and human connection.
