Una scimmia come cameriere

Today Mad about Design presents the latest creation of one of the most important Spanish designers, Monkey Side Table by Jaime Hayon for Barcelona Design.
Presented this year at the Salone del Mobile in Milan, Monkey Side Table is a small table with an unusual form of monkey holding a tray and looking us a bit puzzled and a bit ironic.
  In concrete gray, Monkey Side Table can be considered a sculpture in its own right. Monkey Side Table goes to enrich the collection Gardenia, composed of a series of elements suitable for both outdoor and indoor.
What do you think of this unusual monkey waiter?
Between the images below, also the one taken by me last spring at the stand of Barcelona Design during the Salone del Mobile in Milan.
