About Willow Lub Rooj Noj Mov Uas Ntev Tau

Willow yog ib lub rooj noj mov uas ntev tau, tau kev tshoov siab los ntawm kev tsim vaj tse niaj hnub no. Ib tug ncej hlau yooj yim txhawb daim npoo ntoo thiab tuav nws nyob sib nrug me ntsis, ua rau zoo li lub rooj dai saum huab cua. Cov ceg rooj yog qhov tshwj xeeb tshaj plaws, muaj cov daim hlau khwb nkhaus uas ua tau zoo nkauj nrog tawv los sis ntoo thiab hloov tau raws sij hawm. Tib hom ntoo uas xaiv rau daim npoo kuj siv tau rau cov khwb, ua rau cov khoom siv sib txuas thiab pom zoo sib xws. Ib qho tshuab ncab uas khiav yooj yim tau muab tso nkag rau hauv kiag, ua rau lub rooj ncab tau ntawm 280 mus rau 380 xees tis mev yam tsis hloov tus qauv thaum kaw.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: The project achieves structural equilibrium between lightness and solidity. An essential metal frame supports the wooden top, distancing it to create a suspended effect. The technical distinction lies within the legs, featuring curved sheet metal covers customizable in leather or wood. Applying the exact wood finish from the surface to these leg covers ensures material continuity and visual harmony. A fluid extension mechanism integrates seamlessly, expanding capacity without disrupting the original closed configuration.

Design Challenge: The technical aspect was undoubtedly the most complex. The extension mechanism is seamlessly integrated into the table's design, allowing it to open effortlessly. Every detail has been meticulously planned
Research: This technical design research aimed to integrate a complex extension system into a pure design aesthetic. We challenged the table's technical boundaries to achieve a relevant design capable of adapting to various contexts. Through prototyping and mechanical testing, we validated its smooth operation. The result renders the technology invisible, innovating the furniture sector with a product that blends sophisticated engineering with everyday simplicity.
Inspiration: The project draws its primary inspiration from the observation of contemporary architecture, seeking a constant visual and structural balance between the solidity of volumes and the lightness of supports. This reflection translates into the table through an essential metal framework, designed to support the wooden top by distancing it slightly from the load-bearing structure. This technical solution creates a precise suspended effect for the surface, reducing the visual impact of the contact point between the two materials.
For the development of the distinctive formal element—the architecture of the legs—the study focused on the concept of an "envelope," recalling the idea of an external protective casing. The legs were therefore equipped with curved sheet metal covers, conceived from the outset as modular components. The material inspiration centers on adaptability: these elements can be customized in materials such as leather or wood to integrate into various interior styles. The project offers the option to apply the exact same wood finish chosen for the top to the covers. This conceptual choice generates structural continuity between the base and the surface, returning a strict visual coherence to the product as a whole.
From an operational perspective, the design of the dynamic component was inspired by precision mechanics systems, aiming to conceal the mechanisms in favor of clean lines. Functionality is achieved through the integration of a fluid extension system, developed to expand the table's capacity in a strictly linear manner. The insertion of additional modules occurs in a way that does not alter the overall aesthetics of the structure, completely preserving the visual harmony and the proportions of the original closed configuration.
Project Duration: I started designing this project in January 2024, and it was presented by Cantori at the Salone del Mobile 2025
Operation Flow: Suspended Lightness: The design creates a distinctive visual effect where the wooden top appears to float above the essential structure.

Customizable Covers: The legs feature curved sheet metal elements that can be clad in leather or finished in various colors.

Material Duality: The project combines the warmth of wood with the precision of metal, fusing craftsmanship with contemporary style.

Fluid Mechanism: The extension system is integrated for practical and immediate use without compromising the harmony of the forms.

Aesthetic Versatility: Thanks to interchangeable components, the table offers a tailored fit, adapting to any environment or requirement.
