Water Bar




These tables and benches might look like they're covered in water, something that you wouldn't want to sit down at to eat a meal due to the obvious soggy nature of the meal. Well, you'd be wrong, as you could sit down at this magical furniture and stand up as dry as a bone.
Yep, these pieces of art were created in Japan, designed by Tokujin Yoshioka and installed by Olafur Eliasson. They're actually made out of fancy, sure-to-be-expensive glass of the type used in telescopes. The optical glass gives the illusion of being water while retaining all the properties of, well, glass.
