Unique Properties: The curving single piece of leather creates a sense of floating.
This center table is almost gravity-beflying.
This table, as if suspended in mid-air, will bring a touch of the extraordinary to your everyday life.
Dimensions & Packaging: w950 x d950 x h280mm
Tags: Table,low table,center table,Design,Unique
Production Technology: The shaping of the tertiary surface proved extremely difficult. It was achieved by employing perforated metal.
Design Challenge: Expressing the shape of a cubic surface and realising it while utilising the skills of engineers proved extremely difficult. Through repeated discussions, we continued to seek the correct solution until completion.
Inspiration: While pondering how to create a new table, an image came to mind of two pieces of leather suspended in mid-air.
I contemplated how to realise this vision, and arrived at this form.
Project Duration: The project started in Apr. 2020 in Tokyo and finished in Jan. 2021 in Tokyo, and was exhibited in Salone del Mobile in June 2022.
Operation Flow: This table, as if suspended in mid-air, will bring a touch of the extraordinary to your everyday life.
