Dum Office's Beech Table Seems Inspired by Tie-Dye
Meghan Young — July 3, 2011 — Art & Design
The Beech table seems inspired by the tie-dye theme that is slowing welcomed back by the fashion industry. Of course, I'm not referring to the psychedelic mess of colors that passed as tie-dye in the 70s. Instead, I'm referring to the gradual, gradient style that is the modern take on such a retro technique.
Designed by Dum Office, which is based in Amsterdam, the Beech table is part of a bigger collection comprised of bended wood chairs that complement this customizable table. Essentially, the Beech table is an oversized three-legged trestle that can feature a different tabletop depending on personal style and taste. This unique purple gradient coating on glass really stands out, creating a spectacular conversation piece that's also functional.
