Staffan Holm and Dan Sunaga are designers who are interested in sustainable design. The Newton table is their answer to that interest.
The Newton table is created out of plywood, which is bent in new ways to create new forms with the usually limiting material. Staffan Holm and Dan Sunaga made the table for Karl Andersson & Söner in the hope that by finding new ways to use simple materials like plywood, designs will be more sustainable and the owners will keep them longer.
Staffan Holm and Dan Sunaga received the Nordic Design Award in February 2009 for the Newton table.
