Atmos : World Series - Mini World Table and Mountstool
—MiniWorld Table—
Worldscape is a piece of landscape furniture initially designed for Latitudinal Cuisine, to host the guests to the London Olympics.
The World Series is generated from the same large-scale data - but for smaller-scale spaces, and local people.
We designed this new series of furniture - comprising tables, chairs and stools - to exhibit at 100% Design in Earls court.
The World Table - a Mini-Worldscape - was initially designed at two scales - 1 1200mm long, and 1 2400mm long. The 1200mm one can be used as a tea table for two, or as a display table, while the 2400mm is a an ample dining table seating up to 10 people.
The surface is inscribed with both mountain and underwater contours, peppered by the world capitals and megacities, and gridded by latitudes and longitudes. The tables are designed to use interlocking joints and simple brackets with concealed fixings.
Mountstool samples the extremities of the Andes and the Himalayas, flipping the mountainous data to offer its sitter a flat sea-level surface of laminated strips that balance on reflected mountain peaks. The stool’s sectional construction cradles a rich archaeology of complex cavework, encouraging exploration - and doubling as storage.
