| DESIGN NAME: Twins PRIMARY FUNCTION: Table INSPIRATION: The Twins Table was created for homeowners who need flexible, multipurpose furniture that allows them to seamlessly transition between functions. The Twins Table is made using Formica Laminate which offers a broad range of looks allowing for customization. Clients can either choose between using solid colors or wood grain as the primary finish. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Individuals living in big cities often have smaller spaces that are required to serve an ever-changing and ever-growing number of needs. The Twins Table addresses this architectural challenge for flexible living. In its everyday configuration, the one side of the round table seats two people comfortably. When you need extra space for a working surface, or you want to seat more people, simply open up the other side to expand the table in size. When completely closed, the Twins Table can be stored away or used as decoration. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The Twins Table has four different forms. The first form is a round surface that works as a coffee table. The second form utilizes Formica’s Writable surface to transform a portion of the table into a drawing board. The third form, when the square surface is lifted, acts as a small work surface. The final form, where the user can expand both square forms of table, works as a dining table for four people. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in December 2021 in Chicago and finished in January 2022 in China. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Furniture Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The Twins Table is made of Formica laminated board, which offers a broader range of looks than ever before. Using modern laminate allows the table to be as beautiful as it is durable. A typical construction method is applied on the Twins Table making it very easy for customers to assemble at home. For this project, we offer two types of veneer: woodgrain and solid color. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: 1420mm x 660mm x 762cm TAGS: residential, multifunction, flexible, contemporary, furniture RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The design research focused on the daily needs and habits of millennials and examined how city-living combined with work flexibility creates a new, unique set of demands for living spaces. The design team sought to create a design solution that delivers convenient, economical products for customers. CHALLENGE: The main challenge during the project development phase was finding a new, fresh perspective on a typical piece of furniture as the market is already flooded with tables. Uniqueness is very important for this project as well as the overall production costs to ensure that this table would be affordable and accessible.
