Corian® Du Pont is a material commonly used for the kitchen and bathroom counter tops. Developing a new product we decided not to search for yet another alternative application. Instead we proposed a new form and function for the flat surface of the table top.
In the project we used the qualities of Corian® as a solid, nonporous and certified for food contact material.
'taka’ table is 180 cm long, 76 cm wide and 74 cm high and can accommodate 8 people. The surface of the table is uneven and faceted. It is indented with a number of irregular, polygonal shapes and turns the table top itself into a vessel. Among the cuts there are horizontal planes arranged so that the table can be used in a traditional manner.
By breaking the most basic characteristic of a table – its flat surface, it breaks the stereotype and opens up a discussion about the search for the new values – cultural, functional and aesthetic.
