Rising side table by Robert van Embricqs
The Rising Side Table is an accessory that adds a surprising new twist to the
familiar theme. The Rising Side Table design combines elegance and
functionality. The table top is carved from a single piece of
wood, thereby increasing the table’s practical uses considerably.
Yet, the design never loses its playful accents: thanks to clever
construction choices that create the illusion of a ‘levitating
table top’.
Another defining aspect of the Rising Table is the fluid way the
wooden beams come together to holds up the table top. Usually,
wood is known for its unwielding rigidness. Yet, by slightly
twisting every single beam around its axis, the Rising Side Table
forms to create a sturdy latticework that appears to be in a
perpetual wave like motion.
On top of that, the Rising Side Table is constructed using an
innovative new hinge system that ensures its light weight and
easy to handle, without losing any of its esthethic qualities.
