The 'Tablecloth' side table has been designed by Deniz Aktay as a piece of furniture that captures the essence of falling fabric using decidedly tough materials. The table is crafted using a single piece of molded metal, which highlights rigidity and sheen, while still allowing the furniture piece to maintain a sense of movement. The table thus emulates the look of fabric floating in midair as it falls to the ground to give it an ethereal sense of weightlessness despite its metallic construction.
The 'Tablecloth' side table is accented by a series of three sharply tapered feet to further enhance its sense of airiness. The table further reinforces the airy nature of its inspiration by incorporating slightly waves on two of the three sides.
Fabric-Like Side Tables
The 'Tablecloth' Side Table by Deniz Aktay Emulates the Look of Fabric
Trend Themes
1. Ethereal Furniture - Creating furniture made of materials that emulate the look and feel of soft fabric, such as molded metal, to give it an ethereal sense of weightlessness.
2. Airy Design - Using sharply tapered feet and incorporating slight waves to enhance the sense of airiness in furniture design.
3. Single Piece Construction - Design objects that are crafted using a single piece of material, such as molded metal, to create rigid structures that still maintain a sense of movement.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture - Designing furniture that explores the intersection of rigidity and fluidity using materials such as molded metal to create a new sense of weightlessness.
2. Interior Design - Incorporating ethereal furniture design into interior spaces to create a light and airy aesthetic.
3. Metalworking - Exploring the use of molded metal as a way to create structures that emulate the look and feel of soft fabrics, creating an entirely new approach to metalworking.
