Minimum Table

Minimum Table is an innovative furniture design that exemplifies minimalist principles through its lightweight construction and versatile functionality, created by Ukrainian designer Viktor Kovtun. This sophisticated piece combines simplicity with practicality, featuring a distinctive assembly system that allows for complete disassembly and reassembly, making it exceptionally portable and adaptable to various spaces. The table's construction employs two elegantly bent metal tubes connected by wooden junctions, with dimensions of 710 x 700 x 1300 millimeters, creating a harmonious balance between industrial and natural materials. Its modular design enables length customization through combinable wooden-metal legs joined by metal connectors, while the form and color of the legs can be modified to meet specific requirements. The table's ingenious transportation solution allows the components to nest within each other, significantly reducing shipping volume and environmental impact. This design, which earned the Silver A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category in 2012, represents a significant achievement in sustainable furniture design, combining aesthetic refinement with practical functionality. The table's creation stems from a philosophy of bringing positive emotions through unexpected material combinations and unfamiliar yet simple designs, reflecting the designer's commitment to creating furniture that is both innovative and economically viable for production.
