Sumo Wrestler End Table

I looked twice when I saw this, and I’m not so sure it was for a good reason! This Sumo Wrestler table might appeal to some people, I’m sure, but I did give a wry smile thinking that it was a joke at the expense of the sumo professional. I.e. as they begin their charge, someone places a glass top on them and tell them to “hold it right there“!

The table is eye-catching no doubt and I can’t argue that it’s East-Asian inspired. It would take a bold shopper to purchase this, but I just don’t think its as witty as Allen Jone’s table sculpture.
