Newspaper Table

Presented at the Cranbrook Academy of Art  /  2009

This design looks at the coffee table and interactions that take place around it, specifically eating, reading and conversing.  By creating a dimple in the surface and using a weighted rod, the act of reading the newspaper and using it as a table cloth are framed together, creating a dialogue between the user and object.
