Commissioned by Eins Zu Eins of Schweinfurt, Germany.

In the history of domestic architecture, possibly more important than even the fireplace , the dining table is a piece of furniture that draws family and friends together in the rituals of eating, drinking, and socializing. In the form of the object-in-space, it is a placemaker par excellance and depending on its design, can be both a simple surface to activate space and a sculptural element on its own. Shift_Leg Table is designed in this spirit.

The design of the table begins with a simple premise. How can the positioning of a dining table’s legs do two things: 1) change the perception of the form and stability of a table?

2) change the way in which people interact through subtle shifts in chair location?



 

 
 
To achieve this, the legs on two diagonally opposite corners have been moved approximately 1/3 the length of table which produces two corner cantilevers and a leg between two chairs. A unique material lamination of White Corian and Light Oak with conic joints between the legs and the top animates the object.
