| DESIGN NAME: Nestle PRIMARY FUNCTION: Table INSPIRATION: A friend of mine had recently bought a second hand nest of tables. This got me thinking about the humble nest of tables and how in most cases little thought is given to how they look as a collective once stacked, and it seemed to me that this required and indeed deserved a more considered approach and so this is where I started. I plan to continue to develop many other new and exciting designs that will hopefully bring the oh so humble nest of tables out from the shadows and into the light of even the most modern interior. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: With their slim design and shell like structure the three tables of Nestle look almost as one when stacked, but still have the look of sleek, well proportioned tables as individuals. They also utilise modern materials and machining methods which is essential for the product to be competitively priced. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: This nest of table breaks away from the traditional nest where tables slide out sideways, and instead they are in a stacked arrangement which allows for a much more aesthetically pleasing appearance when nested and also enables the external dimensions of one to actually be greater than the visible internal dimensions of the next. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The seed for this project was actually planted in my mind back in 2013 but it was not until March 2014 that I actually put pencil to paper and started designing the peice. Its design was completed in June 2014. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Furniture Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The starting point was to consider the tables in their nested state and design them together as one. I also knew that I wanted to create as stalk a contrast as possible from the traditional nest of tables. I was looking to achieve a look of oneness without them looking too chunky or disproportionate. The use of relatively thin man made boards (in this case 15mm MDF) enables this to be realised, and also lends itself to the modern CNC methods of machining. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Width 450mm, Height 450mm Depth 450mm.

What I actually found after scouring the internet was that the general approach from most seemed to lack any thought for the nested state which proved my earlier thoughts, and got me extremely existed about what I could possible do to improve the aesthetics of such a piece, or indeed pieces. CHALLENGE: The greatest challenge with this design was to keep it simple in terms of its appearance, construction and nesting method. All of which had to be considered at the same time. To avoid a chunky appearance when nested there had to be some element of component overlap and this came to me in the form of a shell like structure which allowed for a seen width of leg that could nestle inside the other with very little of it showing.
