Angelique Lucas-Witte: Laptop Table
by Lloyd Alter, Toronto on 09.18.07

Students at The Ryerson University School of Interior Design in Toronto, Canada were asked to design a piece of furniture out of a single 4 x4 sheet of baltic birch plywood. These wowed the crowd at the Interior Design Show this spring; We thought it a wonderful opportunity to present the work of these talented young designers as downloadable designs. So far as we know, none are in production, but that might change.....
Designed for easy mobility and the use of a laptop, this table may also transform into a side table. Through the use of voids and shifting planar elements this piece is not only functional, but intriguing and playful. Visual continuity is created through the use of colour where one element penetrates the other. Although constructed out of Baltic Birch, wood may be substituted with acrylics or recycled materials. This multi-functional piece creates a playful and dynamic presence in any space.
