The 'Attraction' Coffee Table by Deniz Aktay is Made with Plywood
Michael Hemsworth — November 2, 2022 — Art & Design
The 'Attraction' coffee table has been designed by Deniz Aktay as a functional yet fashionable piece of furniture for the modern home to provide the perfect place to place decor, drinks and more.
The coffee table concept is achieved with two identical pieces of plywood finished with a chestnut covering and bent to have them sit on top of one another by their corners. This gives the appearance of the furniture design being a single piece, but reveals its intriguing form upon closer inspection. The piece is ultra-low to maintain sightlines within a space.
Aktay commented on the 'Attraction' coffee table saying, "With its slim thickness it is possible to achieve the curving with steam-bending techniques making the design simple yet sophisticated at once."
