About U Alboko mahaia

U izeneko alboko mahaia bi U formako metalezko egiturek eutsita dago. Oinarri gurutzatuak hainbat eremu triangeluar sortzen ditu, egonkortasuna eta erritmo bisual argia eskaintzen dituztenak. Bi U formako hodiak itxura txukuna izateko ezkutuan jarritako torlojuen bidez lotzen dira. Mahaiaren gaina gerezi zur naturalez egina dago, eta metalezko egitura kolore desberdinetan eskaintzen da. Alboko mahaiak 440 x 440 x 480 milimetro neurtzen ditu. Forma trinko eta arinak erraz mugitzeko modukoa da eta espazio txikietarako egokia da, edalontziak, liburuak eta apaingarriak eusteko.

Unique Properties
It’s a side table supported by U-shaped structures. Bringing forth the new through a conventional crossing structure, the base forms multiple triangular areas, which not only ensure the overall stability, but also offer a feast to eyes. The mix of clean lines and modest silhouette shows its cordial personality, while the contrast of the lines and its surface offers a strong visual impact.

When you are sitting on the balcony and want a cup of coffee or a book, is it particularly convenient and pleasant to have a side table next to it? It was in this situation that I considered designing an elegant side table.
Project Duration

Operation Flow
In terms of materials, the designer took advantage of the features of metal, bending and forming at once, and takes consideration of the position and proportional relationship between the big U and small U structures to meet both stability and beauty. The table top is crafted of natural cherry wood, offering a handy landing spot for water glasses, books, and decorations. Paired with a metal frame with different colors available, this side table meets the preferences of various customer groups. With so many characteristics in one side table, it finds the balance between art and utility.
