LAST SUPPER TABLE project - presented at 100% Design London 2008 - is an interesting artistic way of seeing the famous Leonardo painting - from a craftsmen's point of view:)
It was created by Studio Lawrence established with the aim to offer quality furniture made by hand. Its founders, Dutch designers Patrick O. de Louwere and Bart Eijking, strive to create beauty combining craftsmanship with the arts.
The Last Supper 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.
Here is their story:
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!
Another clever use of well known material - at 100% Design London - is what Molo created some years ago and developed into different series: under a paper cloud you were invited to touch, move and experience molo’s softwalls, softblocks and softseating made from flexible honeycomb papers and textiles
Продуктите на www.molodesign.com бяха част от първото Биенале на Българския дизайн. Това беше тяхното първо представяне на нашия пазар и те вече могат да се закупят в София.
