Grid Table


I've been toying with this idea for some time since last September; perhaps this served as some form of de-stressing for me during the A-Levels prep time.


Called Grid, the table's name really speaks a lot about its physical form. The table's grid supports serve not only to create visual interest, but function as supports for glass shelves, which can be added or removed as per the user's need - in a sense, the table is modular in it's function.


Gosh it's hard to describe something that you design/create without sounding superfluous.


Anyway, the geometric beauty of a lamp that sits on the low version of Grid is the Atollo lamp, designed by Vico Magistretti, while the chair, an icon of Parisian cafes for over to a century is the 214 chair by Michael Thonet, both of which I think are truly great pieces of design.
