About Klotz 構造的コーヒーテーブル

Klotzは、6つの独立したパーツで構成された木製の脚がガラス天板を支えるコーヒーテーブルです。各脚は3つの木製ブロックを組み合わせて形成されており、シンプルでありながら彫刻的な佇まいを生み出しています。ライトオークとブラックオークを組み合わせることでコントラストのある配色を実現し、脚の構造と構成美を明確に際立たせています。

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.

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.
Inspiration
Furniture is not just a mere component in the house, but also something staying with you for many years. That is why, I believe it's important to design simple and practical, yet humorous furniture in your home to give you some comfort.
Project Duration
This work was developed in Milan in 2015.
