RIDDLED TABLE
2006-2006
PROGRAM: table: lasercut Canaletto walnut with a vegetal oil finish
CLIENT: Horm Srl
STATUS: completed
The 'Riddled Table' takes advantage of closely folded double membranes to produce the legs and table top. The layering of the faceted porous surfaces produces a gradated phenomenal effect of light and shadow as the distance between folded over planes tightens and widens. The table-top seems to hover above the ground as the heavily perforated legs dissolve into an organic pattern of glowing light and transparency. Made of a laminated 4-ply composite material developed by Albeflex, the furniture's shapes are based on the best performance qualities of the material. The riddled furniture celebrates the materiality and phenomenal properties of this new unique composite, while exhibiting and demonstrating its unique capabilities for flat fabrication and volumetric assembly.
