Table Bleu KleinTM / Klein Blue® Table

A luminous pool of International Klein Blue pigment is suspended beneath a glass tabletop, transforming a functional object into a meditative vessel of pure, saturated color. Klein's signature ultramarine pigment appears to float weightlessly between layers of glass and Plexiglas, supported by sleek chrome-plated metal legs that emphasize the work's elegant, modernist form. The piece embodies Klein's philosophical pursuit of the immaterial, inviting the viewer to lose themselves in the infinite depth of his iconic, trademarked blue.

Medium
IKB pigment, glass, Plexiglas, chrome-plated metal.
