About Codependent テーブル
共依存は心理学とデザインを融合させ、特に心理的状態の物理的症状である共依存性に焦点を当てています。これらの2つの絡み合ったテーブルが機能するには、相互に依存する必要があります。 2つのフォームは単独では機能しませんが、一緒に1つの機能的なフォームを作成します。ファイナルテーブルは、全体がその部分の合計よりも大きいという強力な例です。

Behind the Design
Press Kit

- Unique Properties
- Codependent melds psychology and design into a category termed AnimaForma, representative of both mind and form. The table’s central premise is a physical manifestation of a psychological condition, specifically codependency. This concept is the focus of this piece, with two interlocking tables that rely upon each other to function. Each table incapable of standing on their own, yet together they create a more stable form echoing the psychological condition.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Overall: 79.5cm Diameter, 46cm Tall. White tabletop: 36cm Diameter.

- Production Technology
- Both interlocking tables were handmade in a Brooklyn workshop using Ash as the only material.
- Design Challenge
- The most challenging portion of this project was the implementation of the design. Many features such as the lip of each piece of the table, the radii underneath the table, et cetera needed to be mapped out and specialized jigs and tools were created and used to finish the table in its final form.
- Research
- Design Research: Pointed research on the condition of Codependency tempered with how this would physically manifest itself in the form of a table. Many iterations of designs were made, and engineers were consulted to ensure table stability. Proof of concept was performed via scale 3D printed model, and materials and tools were selected to be as efficient as possible in a hand crafted setting.
- Inspiration
- This design was inspired by a fascination of how profound a role psychological conditions play in an individual's lives. This often goes unnoticed by the affected, and is the source of unresolved discomfort. With this, the larger vision for this table was the hope that the design can spur a larger conversation about mental health, psychology, and well being.
- Project Duration
- Codependent started in November 2017, and was completed July 2019, debuting as a feature on Core77.com, Design-milk.com, and in Home & Design Trends 9th Anniversary Special Issue.
- Operation Flow
- Envisioned as an eccentric yet everyday coffee table, the black form creates the larger of the two surfaces and is the primary tabletop surface. The white form that pierces the black creates a basin that can be used as a valet for special objects or a vessel for a centerpiece.
