PING-PONG Dining table harks back to the origins of table-tennis with its duality of both being a table fit for dining and playing on. What started off as impromptu after-dinner amusement mimicking tennis in an indoor environment for upper-class Victorians became an international phenomenon with rules and standards.
This is an official-sized game table with a DuPont™ Corian® surface CNC machine-routed with French Rococo patterns interjected with Ping-pong iconography filled with gold lacquer, supported by stately hand-lathed timber legs.

In the middle, a long rectangular vase filled with dainty blossoms does double-duty as a game-net and a table floral arrangement.
Reinstating grandeur and pomp with neo-classical inspired embellishments , with a twist in material by using the hi-tech marble-like Corian, the PING-PONG dining table creates a remarkable conceptual and lifestyle statement in the true heart of the home, the dining area.

This design piece is the first collaboration of Mein Gallery, the show-space of interior lifestyle concept brand Mein, dedicated to commissioning and showcasing works of young and upcoming designers, and Hunn Wai.

‘From a Lost City’ is an exercise about today’s social behavior.Inspired by the Shanty towns all around South America, from las ciudades perdidas in Mexico city to las favelas in Rio de Janeiro, FALC tries to preserve the improvisation’s essence, the grid’s absence, the disorder’s liberty.

In this case we are witnesses of a relationship between fabrics, wood sticks and boxes in different dimensions and materials (osb, bamboo and polycarbonate), all together to show us a different piece of furniture with a complete and efficient functionality.We can use it for storage, work surface, desk or kitchen furniture.Its drawers come in different sizes, for different necessities (office, kitchen, workshop, bedroom, living room, etc.).Shanty towns are units of irregular self-constructed housing that are typically unlicensed and occupied illegally. They are usually on lands belonging to third parties, and are most often located on the urban periphery.Shanty town residences are built randomly, although ad hoc networks of stairways, sidewalks, and simple tracks allow passage through them.Most are inaccessible by vehicle, due to their narrow and irregular streets and walkways and often steep inclines.

Metal frames are put over the edges of a tabletop and contracted with lashing straps creating a highly solid linkage. Other than conventional trestles it causes a table with an unitary look. It is designed to work with any table format and for tabletops dimensioned at 24 to 30mm thickness.

Designer John Truex has created a collection of expandable slide coffee tables called Mass Tables.
The Mass Tables, which are made from plywood in a minimal abstract design, expand and contract to accomodate your lifestyle.

The Last Supper table is composed of different elements. The legs are inspired by the strong visual nature of Chinese characters. The table-top elements are based on the Fibonacci Numbers. The legs form an integral part of the table top thanks to a hidden steel construction, which allows for the table top elements to be combined, creating unique Fibonacci-based sequences of all different sizes and compositions. With the use of a third leg, it’s possible to create tables up to 5 meters in length. All elements can be made in different colours, enabling mono- to multi-coloured tables. The Last Supper Table takes its name from Leonardo’s 1498 Last Supper mural, in the convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie, Milan. In Leonardo's masterpiece, the table is the single unifying element in the scene when the apostles individually react to Christ’s announcement that one of them would betray him. The table itself is hidden beneath a cloth; all you can see are the prominent legs. Imagine what the rest of the table would have looked like!

During Milan's Furniture Fair, Swedish designer Katarina Häll presented a set of furniture’s based on peoples needs of having secrets. Inspiration is sprung from the abandoned and forgotten houses that can be found in various places in Sweden. With their barred and bolted doors and windows, they reveal nothing about the stories and treasures that lure inside – beneath wooden floors and in dark corners.

Save includes a chest of drawers, a closet, a desk and a stool. The aesthetics is based on a meeting between a gentle treated frame and planks of pine. Besides functional handles the planks are also a secret box for those things you want to keep secret.

' The big white house was always filled with riddles and secrets. One morning during summer break, before mum and dad had woken, my grandfather showed me one of his hidings. It laid under a loose board in his bedroom and contained a mixture of letters, photos, small metal jars and ornaments. Today the house is bared. Wide planks cover the windows and doors. The hide-out still awaits me inside.'

To live a life with an object.Through a lifetime you have lots of different needs and wishes. We would like to believe that choosing a piece of furniture is not about the owners age.

It is about sustainability, timelessness and a dynamic function. Due to the cast reinforcement, like support stockings, the durability increases. The wooden part is replaceable and can be cut for different heights and needs.

The design of this object allows to participate in the evolution of its shape. By using the TRANSFORMER-SHELF you will constantly
rearrange the different units towards each other, creating myriad
different shapes. This will have an influence on your impression of
the object, the cognition of the surrounding room and the way you
identify yourself with the Object. Everybody can put his own ideas
into the Object. In the end, the design becomes a process that will
be partly submitted to the CONSUMER, who will also partly become
a shape-PRODUCER, and therefore a ‘Design-PROSUMER’.

11 – the beautiful game is a collaboration of two companies – GRO design and Tim model makers – each one contributing their world-class specialist skills to this showcase project.

With their shared values of creativity, quality and experience, the two companies have worked together for over fifteen years on projects ranging from consumer electronics and domestic appliances to lighting and furniture.

This relationship has resulted in an implicit trust in each other’s expertise and intuition, as well as a shared commitment to go the extra mile to achieve the best possible results for their clients.

Joining forces between GRO and TIM does not only enrich the end-result but is essential in visualizing strong design ideas through convincing and exciting models. In 2006 GRO and TIM presented the acclaimed project ‘scoot’, an electric scooter, at the Milan Design Week.

Edge is a dining table inspired and driven by a brief aiming to challenge people's preconceived perceptions of concrete.

This design pushes the boundaries of the material and despite its thin edge is very strong due to a reinforced steel mesh cast inside. Weight is reduced by nearly 30% by inserting a plywood board within the underside of the table top, increasing its practicality.

The edge itself at 8mm appears delicate and is finished with exposed aggregate. the legs made from 6mm steel are powder coated in a range of colours which can compliment the different coloured concretes.

The result is a modern striking design the deceives the user with its deceptively thin and light looks, but still maintains the strength and durability that is so familiar to concrete.
