Have a bunch of magazines? Whether it is Print or Cosmo., after you are done reading them you most likely send them into exile at a shelve or a compartment of your desk, table, etc. Now ask yourself, why not trap them in a spider web? Well this is what the designers at Nendo thought […]

Presented: Salone Internazionale del Mobile 2007, Milan. In the beginning there was Fat-Fat a multifunctional element that doubled as a table/container, from which first the Fat-Fat coffee tables and then the Fat-Fat bed developed. Now these same round, soft and sinuous shapes are repeated in a seating system that recall the ashtrays of yesteryear, or […]

Constructed of “matte black or white varnished water-jet drilled steel sheet,” the twin tables make no bones about their high-tech origins. Manufacturer B&B Italia designs to provide the specifics of their genesis. The perforated pattern that is Digitable’s hallmark seems a tangible representation of the language of computers, and this is certainly one interpretation of […]

A dual wall construction means that the interior walls of the table converge at a more extreme angle than the exterior walls and when objects are placed […]

Comparing this table to a sculpture by Richard Artschwager, Adam Caruso applies a language synonymous with the company’s own architecture – cerebral, post-modernist forms – to create this beautifully understated piece.
