Birds Multifunctional Table

Birds Multifunctional Table is an innovative furniture design that masterfully combines functional versatility with aesthetic elegance, created by designer Oksana Belova. This sophisticated piece emerges from a thoughtful exploration of material contrasts, featuring a striking combination of terrazzo stone base and delicate metal elements, enhanced by integrated lighting features. The design, which measures 1500mm x 350mm x 1500mm, draws inspiration from early autumn landscapes and the graceful movements of birds, translating these natural elements into a contemporary functional art piece. The table's distinctive characteristic lies in its hidden retractable elements, which maintain the design's clean aesthetic while offering practical functionality. The terrazzo construction demonstrates a commitment to sustainable design principles, repurposing stone fragments into a new composite material, while the metal components represent a conscious effort to extend material lifecycle through innovative reuse. The integrated lighting system creates an ethereal effect, with thin lines of light surrounding the substantial stone base, producing a soft, ambient illumination that enhances its decorative appeal. Winner of the Iron A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category in 2021, this piece exemplifies the intersection of practical utility and artistic expression, serving multiple functions as a torchiere, bar, bookshelf, or interior installation. The design philosophy emphasizes reasonable consumption and material transformation, challenging conventional approaches to furniture design while maintaining a focus on functionality and aesthetic refinement.
