About Stalk Side Table
Stalk is a side table made from a single metal plate. The iron plate is three millimetres thick, laser cut with precision, then bent and powder coated. Symmetrical lines and angled folds give the table a minimalist appearance and a stable structure. Stalk is offered in two sizes, measuring 420 by 600 by 420 millimetres and 400 by 600 by 380 millimetres. The side table can be used as a single piece or combined with other units in modular arrangements. The design aims to unite simple form, durability and daily function.

- Inspiration
- We are inspired by nature, animals, architecture and cultures from all over the world. But our development process begins on the smallest scale. We experiment with our hands, playing with forms, angles and perspectives until we reach the ideal shape.
With aesthetics given equal importance to functionality and stability. Our purpose is to create pieces that challenge existing shapes, transforming them into simple but durable new designs. - Image Credits

Design Interview about Stalk Side Table
The stalk of plants
Watching the plants I learned how the pieces can expand in a stable way.
Develop my work as a designer and create beautiful and functional pieces
From the first inspiration until reaching the desired stability it took 3 months.
Pursuit an inspiration.
I am responsible for the development, production and distribution of the pieces.
I love producing furniture and seeing the interaction with people
People who value a simple design without being simple.
The way the pieces interact with each other
The first inspiration came from observing the stalk of a plant.
The way the pieces interact with each other
Laser-cut and powder coating.
We tested some prototypes until we found the best angle to generate the desired stability.
As a startup, I would like to have my project evaluated by experienced designers
I learned more about the materials, the interaction between them.
