It would be difficult to find another table in 20th century furniture design that matches the striking image of Trapeze. Its name refers to the distinctive shape of the table’s paired legs. Together with the thick, obliquely canted edges of the tabletop, they give visual emphasis to the construction’s stability. Trapeze works well as a […]

Udukuri shows Jo Nagasaka’s ability to create a simple yet modern object for the house.

Nagasaka then applies brightly coloured epoxy resin treatments to the surface, […]

The minimalist charm of the extendible Sushi 12 table can be seen in this outdoor version equipped with the same extension device as the indoor one, but with a 12mm thick HPL top to guarantee even higher resistance while keeping an extremely slender profile.

Junya Ishigami’s Drop Table is a paradox of fluid static. The table is formed using GS Plexiglas®, taking some 50 hours of work to create after it undergoes each step in the process. The focal point of the table is the giant, contact lens-resembling “drop” tabletop. At a glance, it appears to be a delicate plate of glass. Upon closer inspection, you will notice how solid the 2000 x 3000 mm, and 70 mm thick sheet of cast GS Plexiglas® is, boasting a diameter of 148 cm. Three cast GS Plexiglas® cylinders are interpolated into the circular slots of the top by a machine process that integrates them perfectly. Afterwards, the 60 mm legs are polished by hand, each of them slightly different according to where they were positioned into varying angles of the tabletop. Drop endures an extensive smoothing and polishing procedure overall, contributing to the ice sculpture appearance of the final product. Because the affect of the Drop is meant to distort the perception of the piece’s surrounding space and objects, Ishigami’s Family Chair line is the ideal company to compliment and complete this surrealistic endeavor.

This table can serve as a dining table (height 75cm) or a coffee table (height 39cm) and is crafted with a glossy transparent perspex.
