Lake Tea Table

Lake Tea Table is an innovative furniture design that exemplifies the harmonious fusion of modern aesthetics and functional versatility in contemporary home environments. Created by Chinese designer Xia Yiting, this sophisticated piece represents a significant advancement in wooden furniture design through its distinctive three-dimensional curved surface treatment. Crafted from premium North American black walnut and processed using advanced CNC machining technology, the table's fluid form creates a compelling visual narrative that balances dynamic motion with structural stability. The design's most notable feature is its sculptural silhouette, which challenges traditional perceptions of solid wood furniture by introducing an organic, flowing aesthetic while maintaining practical functionality. The table, measuring 1600x600x830mm, incorporates thoughtful modern amenities including a concealed USB jack, an international three-hole socket, and a hidden drawer equipped with Austrian Blum 560H series hardware for seamless operation. The surface treatment, finished with OSMO wax oil and oil-free paint, enhances both the aesthetic appeal and durability of the piece. This innovative approach to furniture design earned the Lake Tea Table a Platinum A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category, recognizing its exceptional contribution to contemporary furniture design. The table's engineering successfully addresses the structural challenge of stability through careful weight distribution, ensuring it remains steady even when weight is applied to its edges, while its storage solutions and power integration capabilities make it particularly well-suited for modern living spaces.
