Nendo’s Border Table Collection Utilises Corners of Rooms as its Structure.

Tokyo-based superstar studio Nendo have designed Border Table collection, created for a solo exhibition held at the “EYE OF GYRE” gallery in Omotesando during Tokyo Designers Week 2015. The designs utilise the element of space as part of its structure, seamlessly blending into the corners or edges of walls.

The difficulty of creating a mass produced design is its intrinsic inevitability of having an “average specification” that can respond to various situations. The designers wanted to create an object that would still be utilised within numerous environments, but with a unique and functional aspect that forms a relationship between the space and itself.

The mysterious Border Table consist of a 5mm square metal rod with a small tabletop measuring a radius of 100mm attached to it. Within this particular gallery space, the designs were placed in varying locations, whether they are situated on the corner of a plinth, or around a circular column, their arrangements are unique within their own respect.
