DESIGN NAME: La colline venus
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Coffee table
INSPIRATION: I wanted to create a androgyne object that would by facilitates communication between a man and a woman. The table design combines the masculine and the female principle. Links the softness of an elliptical form and rawness of original building materials, products of nature and artificial materials.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Elliptical table surface is made from concrete. The supporting corpus from the roksor is partially visible in the bare legs of the table. The moss and a glass decanter, is located in one focus of an ellipse. The uniqueness of the table is that the moss is irrigated by water from a glass decanter. The table can also be used in the exterior. The table, except for watering, does not require special maintenance. We can say that the time adds the table unique character.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The moss requires continuous care, therefore the table becomes vital part of household in or member of the public spaces.
