Hyperbolic 2011
Sculptural Table With Central Pedestal
BD Barcelona, Spain
Offering a bonus function or something extra: «that added value that I always try to find when I develop my ideas». The new Hyperbolic table also offers this added value. Not just one, but several. It is conceived as a sculpture in organic forms; the central pedestal strengthens its functionality; it is abstract and neutral, so that it can be easily combined with different kinds of chairs. Moreover, its triangular shape has a virtue that large tables usually lack, i.e. in that it allows for eight people to be seated comfortably but still ensures intimacy when there are only two. The surprise is that, below the glass, the shape of the inner surface «produces the visual and surprising effect of a bottomless well». It is mono-material and mono-coloured. Made in fibre with a brilliant lacquered finish.
