Inception-inspired coffee table bends reality (and a city) in your own home

The ultimate gift for fans of Christopher Nolan's cerebral blockbuster

The coffee table's design is inspired by this scene from Christopher Nolan's blockbuster (Warner Bros Entertainment 2010)

As Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Ariadne (Ellen Page) stroll through the streets of Cobb's own dreams, she asks; "What happens when you mess with the physics of it all?"

Ahead, the streets rise up, the horizon shrinks; she's witness to an entire city neatly folding itself in half. This key scene from Christopher Nolan's 2010 blockbuster Inception inspired one designer to mess with the physics of traditional furniture; producing a spectacular coffee table piece which sees a wooden city bend neatly over itself, creating fascinating edges and illusions in the process. 

Created by Cypriot designer Stelios Mousarris, the Wave City Coffee Table was created through a mix of wood, steel, and 3D printing technology. It's a brilliant use of Mousarris' background, having once worked as a modelmaker for Fosters and Partners before establishing his own company Mousarris in 2014.

Only one problem: this limited edition piece will set you back €5000. Hey, it's not our fault we were once told to, "dream a little bigger, darling."
