The Flipper table is an example of modern furniture that combines a minimalist aesthetic—characterized by subtly curved metal legs—with the clean lines of a polished glass top.

Currently regarded as one of Britain’s most highly regarded industrial designers, Matthew Hilton’s furniture and decorative pieces are part of the permanent collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Geffrye Museum, and the Manchester City Art Gallery. He designs with the end user in mind—whether it’s a family of ten or a single person—and enjoys creating fluid solutions that are easily adaptable to today’s living spaces.
