| DESIGN NAME: Chromosome X PRIMARY FUNCTION: Dining Table INSPIRATION: The table belongs to the chromosome family dining tables. Chromosome X, draws its inspiration from chromosome X and its importance in determining genetically female gender. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A Dining Table designed to provide seating for eight people, who interact in arrow arrangement. The top is an abstract X, made of two different pieces accentuated by a deep line, while the same abstract X is reflected on the floor with the base structure. The white structure is made of three different pieces for easy assempling and transportation. Moreover, the contrast of teak veneer of the top and white for the base was selected to lighten the lower part giving more emphasis on the top. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The X shape of the top and the reflected X shape of the base, deviate from common rectangularly shaped tops providing a hint for different interaction of the people that are sitting around. They interact not opposite to each other but in V arrows. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: It was assigned to the office as a project in June 2012, and was assempled in customers location in July 2012.
