PINK COFFEE TABLE
My design primarily explores light, space, and material. Acrylic has served as my main choice of material because of its planar quality and linear edges which offers bold characteristic to delineate space. I hope to capture a feeling of abstract space that is framed in various ways, through position, proportion, and color. My abstract furniture designs not only serve to display interesting objects but create complex relationships between light, space, material and change spaces. Ultimately these elements become an architecture for display.
Pink Coffee Table
44-1/4” x 14-13/32” x 14-13/32”
Landing in between sculpture and furniture, this coffee table is the first piece of my acrylic furniture collection. Using heat bent L shape clear matte acrylic as tabletop and a rectangular fluorescent pink acrylic as a central support, the form itself reveals the making process. The minimal design language highlights the quality of the material. A sharp fluorescent pink line appears across the top and it becomes directional. It draws attention to s certain part of the form. The pink acrylic defines and frames the space underneath the tabletop. It showcases your objects by carefully placing them on the table and they activate the spaces within the furniture.
