About Klotz Mensa Structuralis ad Cafeam
Klotz est mensa cafearia tabulam vitream habens quae cruribus ligneis ex sex partibus separatis compositis sustinetur. Unumquodque crus tribus lignorum truncis inter se conexis formatur, speciem simplicem sed sculptilem creans. Quercus clara et quercus nigra coniunguntur ad rationem colorum oppositorum efficiendam quae constructionem et compositionem structuralem crurum perspicue extollit.

- 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.
- 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.
