New from Brave Space: Hollow Dining Set, Coming to Design Week
by Collin Dunn, Corvallis, OR, USA on 05. 1.07
Via Design*Sponge comes this brand new hot little number from Brooklyn-based Brave Space Designs. Following a few of the design features from the Hollow Bench we featured here, both the table and the chairs of the aptly named Hollow Dining Set have hollow spaces built right in to the bamboo construction, perhaps as a materials-reduction strategy but also as a handy place to keep placemats, napkins and the like that don't always have to be on display on the table, but are good to have within arms' reach. To check out the new set up close and personal, swing by this year's Brooklyn Designs show, May 11 to 13, which helps kick off NY Design Week. ::Brave Space Designs via ::Design*Sponge
Interesting to see if their structure can prove effective after a period of heavy usage
I don't like the look of it, it looks really 70's retro but I'm sure lots of people will luv it.
These are cute. It could also be useful for people who tend to work at the dinner table and then want to stash stuff away temporarily to make the table look vaguely presentable at meals. But if the hollow bit of the table goes all the way through, I'd be worried about sticking placemats or papers in it and then having them migrate to the middle of the table and be impossible to get out again.
