For Design Miami /  Established & Sons are proud to present three limited-edition tables from Iris by the internationally acclaimed design partnership, BarberOsgerby. Iris features five tables, each with its own specific colour spectrum. Iris is the word used for the circular, coloured portion of the eye surrounding the pupil. The term also refers to a rainbow and is the name given to the goddess of the rainbow in classical Greek mythology.

Each table in the Iris series is constructed from a single geometric component, which has been repeated to form a tessellated ring. There is a fine balance of visual beauty and cutting-edge technology that enables the pieces to work. The machined components are individually anodised creating a unique colour specific to that single component. The process of anodising dyes colour into the surface of the aluminium rather than coating it. This means that the aluminium can be seen through the colours. The components are then fixed together to form a faceted circle. Iris 1500 is made up of 60 individually coloured components; Iris  1500 and Iris are both made up of 48; Iris 1300 and Iris 1200 from 36 components.
