"A symbolic relationship between tight and elegant, solid and fragile"

Men and women, yin and yang, fries with mayonnaise (for the Belgians). Similarly, the feminine elegance who was in need for the masculine robustness of this table to come to life.

The tension in this table is created by a collaboration between different elements. The steel grid and the disks show the powerful character, where the slender legs and tension cables provide for a sensual touch.

Like the starting point of this design, the table works as an architectural object. The table could not only function as a figure, but could also serve on a larger scale as a covered square. A solution for an investigation how something rigid and solid can rely on something grassy and fragile, results in a perfectly balanced harmony.
