Thin and Elegant Table
October 30th, 2007 by pale_whites
I came across a rather impressive table today. The design is called Thinner and the designer is Tobias Berneth.
As you can see this table is made from a very thin white laminate and in order to engineer it, principles from the aircraft industry were used.
More on the designer can be found here.
From the web-site;
The table Thinner creates the Illusion of a thin, weightless surface. It is the result of numerous prototypes, calculations and material tests to manage 6mm material thickness.
To gain the required stability the table was constructed like the wing of an aeroplane.
And;
Tobias Berneth, born 1977 in Würzburg served an apprenticeship as a cabinetmaker and studied industrial design at the State Academy of applied arts in Stuttgart. He collected work experience as an industrial designer in different design offices in Germany, Finland, Italy and Sweden. In 2005 he founded Tobias Berneth Industrial Design.
His works were honoured with several design prices and exhibitions.
