Contemporary coffee table BLOC

Treating colour as a material, Bloc side tables are based on the idea of recreating a hand-drawn cube, using different tones and shades to suggest an optical illusion. Hidden in the plywood structure is a drawer with a soft-open mechanism, disguised by the block colours of the outer surfaces. Available in three sizes, the design is highly versatile and can add playfulness and a compact graphic character to a wide range of interior environments, from the home to the office. The BLOC coffee tables are colourful plywood boxes in contrasting high-pressure laminate finishes. They come with black dowel feet as standard and can be paired with castor wheels (optional) and a storage soft-open drawer (optional). “Colours often come way too late in the development of a design,” said Deltour. “For once I wanted to invert the process.”
