SELENE is the debut object of Neeltje Design Studio, a coffee table that is both util as she is poetic. The table is reverred to as a 'she' since she embodies the modern version of the greek moon goddess, after which she is named.

As an object she symbolizes the feminine power of the moon, her cycle and rhythm of ebb and flow. Emphasizing the ever evolving transitions that are permanently around us and of which we are part. 

As a table her two tabletops are challenging the gravitational powers of earth by floating in a horizontal position. Both can eclipse over each other to set a moon phase. 

Her body shape is based on a Circle and a Square connected by the Triangle. In Zen conceptual understanding, the entire Universe can be reduced to these three shapes: the square, circle and triangle. In Selene there is a relationship between the not-knowing square and the enlightened circle - but it is the triangle formed by the person sitting next to her that connects these two shapes.
