The Skinny on Stone

Posted in: coffee table, dinner table

Piero Lissoni’s DRITTO collection of side, coffee and dining tables blur the line between the material limitations of minimalism. The tables achieve a bold, substantial aesthetic by using ultra-thin slabs of carrara marble as well as post-recycled pietra d’avola and lithoverde stone, but each maintains a sense of lightness from the sheer thinness of the tops complimented by simple, geometric frames. Now you can get that raw, stone finished look without the aesthetic and physical heaviness of large slabs.

Designer: Piero Lissoni

Roaring 2010s Table

Posted in: coffee table

From looking at the Elvis table, I assumed that its name and curvaceous form were inspired by the famous singer’s quaft doo! To my honest disappointment, it was just a coincidence! The design is actually a semi-reproduction of a 1920s piece the commissioner had taken a photo of, but with designer David Savage’s own unique design language. It captures the 20s distinctive cultural edge in a modern form that’s simply beautiful.

Doodle-able Table

Posted in: coffee table

The Matchbox table was named for its unique resemblance to an old-school matchbox created by its contrasting materials. It merges playfulness with modern elegance in an occasional table you can write on. On one end, raw wood makes a clean surface for placing objects, and on the other is a chalkboard surface for drawing, scribbling ideas, or creating your own unique designs!

Crazy About Cork

Posted in: Side Table

Cork isn’t just the stuff of wine bottles, it’s also a unique & healthy method of farming & material sourcing… not to mention- infinitely recyclable, naturally waterproof, buoyant, & fire resistant. The Rolha (Portuguese for the stopper used in wine bottles) table taps into the unique nature of the material, & consists of just 3 legs & a solid, turned cork top. Each leg is fitted with a screw similar to a wine key, so the user simply has to twist each one into place!

Undetectable Table

Posted in: coffee table

The Bordus coffee table takes surprising inspiration from the lines and angles of Stealth Fighters, applying these geometries to form a striking sculptural piece. The polarizing design may appear complex at first glance but is quite simple in form and construction! Nest-able side by side, unique combinations can be created by repeating tables to fit a variety of different sized and shaped spaces.

Designer: Ola Giertz

Bookdesk

Posted in: desk

There’s the bookshelf, there’s the desk… and then there’s the Bookdesk. As the name suggest, it merges the functionality of both into a compact workspace that’s great for small spaces. The minimal form goes to show that even a slight modification of an already simple structure can give objects an entirely new purpose! It’s perfect for a referencing your books quickly while you work or putting your favorite reads on display.

Designer: Damien Van Durme

Sparkle by Tokujin Yoshioka for Kartell

Posted in: Milan 2013

Milan 2013: Japanese designer Tokujin Yoshioka presented plastic furniture that resembles cut-crystal glasses for Italian brand Kartell at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile last week.

Sparkle by Tokujin Yoshioka for Kartell

The Sparkle stool and side table by Tokujin Yoshioka have ridges that gently curve around the sides and fan out across the tops, giving the furniture a twisted appearance.

“Sparkle shines by refraction of light from the prism effect like a crystal glass,” says Yoshioka.

Kartell is famous for plastic products and also launched a sofa by Philippe Starck that’s the largest single-piece injection moulding in the world on its stand at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile. See all our stories about plastic furniture by Kartell.

Yoshioka meanwhile is known for transparent objects and has previously created a see-through armchair and set of almost invisible tables for Kartell, plus an installation with hundreds of transparent plastic sticks. See all our stories about design by Tokujin Yoshioka.

Industrial Elegance

Posted in: Uncategorized

The WELDED Table, a Red Dot Design Award Best of the Best recipient, leaves little to be desired in both substance and aesthetic. The design is based around the use of a minimal amount of material and simplified construction process. The tridimensional shape of the legs is achieved with a near-invisble weld that gives it a sleek, refined look while providing structural strength. Loving it in neon!

Designer: Alain Gilles for Bonaldo

Purely White and Wood

Posted in: Uncategorized

This reinvention of the Gispen Today collection by Thijs Smeets combines advanced production techniques with contemporary & eloquent design- a radically different approach for a brand known for its tubular steel frames. The series of chair, sofa, stool, table, wall rack, magazine holder, & even an umbrella stand are characterized by chamfered plywood contrasted with bright white molded shells or fabric. While different than Gispen’s usual chromed out look, each piece maintains a clean, modern aesthetic.
