About Klotz Strukturele Salontafel
Klotz is in salontafel mei in glêzen tafelblêd dat stipe wurdt troch houten poaten dy't út seis aparte ûnderdielen besteane. Eltse poat wurdt foarme troch trije houten blokken yninoar te heakjen, wat in ienfâldige mar sculpturale útstrieling jout. Ljocht iken en swart iken wurde kombinearre om in kontrastearjend kleurenskema te meitsjen dat de konstruksje en struktuerele opbou fan de poaten dúdlik nei foaren bringt.

Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- Unique Properties
- Klotz is a coffee table that has a glass top and wooden legs made of six separate parts.
The legs have a block structure constructed by bracing three legs with the other three legs, producing a simple, sculptural form.
For the wooden legs, I used two different kinds of oak wood which
have different colors. the one with lighter color is light oak, and
the one with darker color is black oak. By combining two different
colored woods, it creates interesting contrast and makes the
structure of legs more clearly. - Dimensions & Packaging

- Design Challenge
- The big challenge of this project was how I could bring humour to the living room.
- Research
- In the beginning of the project, I did research about furniture with smart and beautiful structures.
