Tabl
Ivory side table
Have a look at Tabl. Can you spot the hidden part? A circular part of the classic cylindrical base has been cut out and transformed into a functional tabletop. Consequently leaving a round, open space in the foundation. Creating a strong visual silhouette. With this playful and tangible approach, we efficiently optimize the material by providing the design with a new function without adding additional material. We deliberately optimize the production process as the laser cutter can create the base and top simultaneously. And we responsibly reduce waste in an earlier stage as the shapes from the opening and the top recur.

The HIDN design language
• Searching for hidden possibilities in material or processing to reveal a hidden part, function, shape, inspiration or design feature
• A way to think outside the box, be innovative and unfold your creativity
• Treasure hunting for the hidden gems and surprises
• Design with a precycling approach; optimising material and process in an early stage
• Getting more out of a product than initially thought
• Adding obvious functionality, value or aesthetics to a design without adding obvious material
• A responsible and considered take on minimalism
• A naturally integrated step in your table of content when designing
