Rising Table by Robert van Embricqs

toma — Tue, 10 Dec 2013 11:59:10 +0000

Architectural & Furniture designer Robert van Embricqs about the project: “A conscious choice for functionality in design, doesn’t necessarily mean one has to be burdened by conformity, let alone predictability. The Rising Table ignores the cliched notion that a table is little more than a flat surface that is held up by four separate legs. The result is a surprising mixture of fluid design that blends the multifaceted tabletop with the latticework of wooden beams that function as the center of the construct. From there, the table sprouts four wooden beams that hold up the entire construct. Not only does this design approach rid itself of every single predictable feature when one imagines a table, it also emphasizes that the Rising Table is indeed made from a single piece of wood. This proves the Rising Table isn’t merely an eye catcher when it comes to design, it can also hold its own as a functional piece of furniture, albeit with a twist.

Sidenote: the applied construction techniques to create both the Rising Chair and the Rising Table, emphasize on its relative applicable ease for production on a mass scale.”

These sculptural lamps creates the body of the lamps by joining two strips of ash or white oak, without using moulds that control or constrain the outcome of the shape. This process allows the wood to take its form naturally and means that no two will be the same. “The idea for the lamps began by thinking of wood as a metaphor for the body.Wood will bend comfortably to a point, then break. Just like a bone or muscle, wood has its limit.” – said designer.
