Extraordinary table

Darwin Table Shaped Genetic Code
At Ventura Lambrate in Milan 2013 a Dutch studio Tjep. with a Netherlands-based company Dutch DNA presented the first item from their joint collection. A map of genetic code is the basis of design of Darwin table. The owner of the genetic code was a dancer Giulia Wolthuis', the daughter of Eric Voltheisa, the founder of the Dutch DNA. The data of the code were converted into charts with a help of a special program and then were built up into 3D forms. As a result the unusual form of the table has occurred. Designers believe that the unique form of everyone's DNA can be used to create personal furniture pieces of their future collection.

'<3 Side Table' with Two Legs by Jonathan Sabine
If you want to change your awareness of the stability, then you should take a look at the '<3 Side Table'. Nowhere else you will find a table with only two legs and there should be no doubt of its stability. Technically it is possible due to bent tubular steel leg with the two points contacting with a floor. Except its extraordinariness, the table is so elegant and light, like a performing a rotation ballerina, elegantly and coquettishly bending her leg. As a result the table is asymmetrical and its outward appearance depends on view angle. The designer of the table is Jonathan Sabine from Toronto.

Very Elegant Coffee Table by Alessandro Di Prisco
"Silk" coffee table, designed by talented Italian architect and designer Alessandro Di Prisco, whose works were presented and awarded at many architecture and design competitions in Italy and abroad. The table is made from a single thermoformed sheet of Corian (1 x 1 meter). Thanks to an extraordinary design it looks like a silk shawl floating in the air and fluttering by the wind. Seeming lightness contrasts with the actual strength of the material from which the table is made. The "waves" of the "Silk" serve both as its surface and as a support for it. Very elegant coffee table will be more suitable for the office or living room.
