Canteen Table

We were asked by Canteen restaurants to design a “cost effective table suitable for commercial and residential applications”. Rather than a standalone table, we chose to design a universal table leg. Drawing on the BA chair by Ernest Race, which Canteen were using in their restaurants, we decided that cast aluminium would be the perfect process and material. The Leg fixes directly to the underside of a tabletop. Its integral strength eliminates the need for any additional bracing. The legs are available in combination with a range of different table tops. Alternatively they come as a set of legs only for self-assembly/Klauser and Carpenter

The Bento chair is a prime example of what One Nordic represents – it’s founded in Nordic design ideology in terms of material and form, combined with the playfulness of mechanical toys and the functionality of Japanese lunch boxes. “The broad legs are a wink at the tradition of bending wood, but at the same time it’s a bit bold. It’s definitely messing with your preconceptions of Nordic design”, says designer PetrusPalmér from Form Us With Love. All Bento products are shipped in semi-flat boxes in order to ease global transportation and save storage space. Once at your doorstep, you can easily assemble the chair in just four simple steps. The chair will be available in in black, white and turquoise/form us with love

What’s special about the way Bento is assembled?

We didn’t want to make flat-packed furniture that would require tools. We tried to find a way to make it as easy and enjoyable for the customer as possible. That’s why we decided to go for no tools, no instructions. It should be as easy as it could be, and that’s basically the idea.

What is the most important element of the design?

Instant likeability. We wanted to make sure that Bento is clear in its design in the sense that the viewer instantly “gets” what the chair or the table is all about. That the furniture communicates with its form, style and material what the idea behind the design is.

Hoof table

The main inspiration for the Hoof tables starts from the foot detail. I have always loved the painted wooden chairs that have the end of the legs left as natural wood so that the paint doesn’t chip off if kicked or knocked. The leg ends of the table are sharpened at the foot – like a horse’s hoof is trimmed before it is shod. This detail has derived from continuous exploration and development of production techniques. The fine edge of the tables is created from the soft chamfer being on the top and bottom. This also gives the tables a tactile feel and clearly shows that the tables are made from solid wood. The foot detail is created by reversing the usual production process; most furniture details, which have a painted section and a natural part, are assembled, masked off, and then painted. Hoof is painted first, then cut back to produce the unique detail/Samuel Wilkinson

Designed by London-based designers Goodwin + Goodwin, the Plus side table is a continuation of their Plus Desk. It was designed so that it could be assembled in moments without the need for any tools or fixings. The affordable table is made in the UK and comes neatly flat-packed in a small box with the legs sitting inside the top

TOR

TOR is a side table that does not need a fixed location, it is designed to be moved around. The legs extend through the tabletop creating the grip and giving the table its playful and charming character. The raised rim of the surface prevents objects from falling off. TOR is made of powder coated aluminum and can be ordered in six different colors: intense black, signall white, signall grey, reseda green, pastel turquoise and violet pastel/Ralf Lambie and Johan van Hengel

Bol

Bol is a side table but also a bowl, where things can be placed and stored. It consists of a pressed metal shell, hold on three points and a frame made of ash wood. The frame can be easily taken apart and packed/Sarah Boettger

Clamped Stool

The ‘Clamped Stool’ is a three leg knock-down stool, assembled with a single clamp based joint, integrated with one of the stools legs that locks the whole construction together, giving it its strength. The concept of the ‘Clamped Stool’ was born after I looked at some DIY furniture and thought to myself that they are not so simple to assemble and there is more desperation than satisfaction from the process of the assembly. I decided to design a knock down stool that the whole construction will be held on a single joint, familiar from the field of hardware tools and this way will be easy and intuitive to assemble and fun and satisfying at the same time/Daniel Glazman

mushiki

named after the japanese word for steaming vessel, these side tables draw their shape and functionality from the stackable bamboo components of their namesake object's design. available in two sizes, each round structure features a column with a wooden hinge running along it, which allows various modules to be stacked, rotated and opened. like many of alonso's designs, these tables combine simple elements to render more complex structures, enabling users to adjust its movable components to explore proportion and spatial relationships. with a strong emphasis on how humans relate to the products, alonso says: 'for me it’s important that what I design makes its way into people’s hands and people’s homes. I would like my objects to be used, lived with and enjoyed/Tomas Alonso
