ABSTRACT:
A table includes a table top that is supported by a set of legs. Each of these legs includes a translucent column adapted to contain a liquid and a bubble source mounted in the column to introduce bubbles in the liquid. A pump is coupled to the bubble sources to supply a pressurized fluid such as air to the bubble sources. The fluid forms bubbles which rise through the liquid and are visible from outside the columns. Preferably, all of the legs of the table include a respective column and bubble source, and the bubbles in the columns are illuminated by light from one or more light sources contained in the base adjacent the lower portion of the legs. Colored filters may be interposed between the light and source and the columns.
