ROMANIAN DESIGN WEEK APPEARANCES
2018 // Yoko Table
This object is the result of a study of several different materials and the way they mix together to form physical objects. It emphasizes the aesthetic qualities of concrete in object design. The Yoko Table stands out both trough the clean-cut geometry of its components and trough the visually harmonious mixture of materials and their volumes.
The product’s uniqueness comes from the illusion of weightlessness it projects, despite the rigid elements that compose it and its sturdy construction. It seamlessly combines the circular and the linear.
On a component level, the table consists of four harmoniously linked pieces that create the final product: the concrete dome, the steel disc surrounding it, the brass pieces that support the object in four distinct points and the metal legs that hold it upright. The dome has a polystyrene core, the actual concrete measuring about 5 cm. in width.
