Side table? Lectern? Notebook stand? Reference library? Konstantin Grcic‘s new series of sheet metal tables is open to a wide range of interpretations and uses and, most importantly, to the imagination. Just as words are built from letters, the Diana tables combine with other furniture and objects in ever-varying visual contexts. With the Diana alphabet from A to F, a living room can be transformed into a cafe – or into a word in an entirely new, entirely personal language.
Folded from a single piece of sheet metal: no screws, connectors or other materials interrupt the pure form.
How many planes can be created by folding a single piece of sheet metal? Origami for artists.
Konstantin Grcic: “These tables, just like letters, are the result of a repeated, careful revision of the negative and positive.”
Which page of your favourite book will you turn to today? Diana F serves as a notebook shelf, newspaper rack … there are no limits to your imagination.
