COSTA TABLE  I  R.I.E.S Architects -  FURNITURE DESIGN (2014)

Custom Designed Coffee Table

 

Having previosly designed custom furniture for the clients, they commissioned the design of a custom coffee table with a modern clinical design and materials to match the previosly commissioned pieces. Using glass, polished marble and mahogany, the design was inspired by architectural form and aecthetic. With geometric shapes over lapping and cantilevering over one another (as in the concept sketch above), accentuated by shadow gaps. The designed is inadvertently an architectural piece perfoming exiting gymnastics.

 

I was involved in the conceptualisation, design process and intricate detailing of the furniture piece, as well as producing a set of shopfitting drawings for the construction of the table.
