Honey, I'm Home!
A tabletop that can be flipped over.
Honey, I'm Home! is a tabletop that functions as a practical workbench in the day, but can be flipped over to become a more formal dinner table in the evening, perfect for entertaining.
Both sides of the tabletop are covered with a laminate (HPL), and the customer can choose the colour, style and texture of both to suit their interiors and the table's functions.

PHILOSOPHY OF OUR DESIGNS
We are living in an era in which many products are offered to us as so called black boxes, even as the complexity of these products increases dramatically.
The paradox here is that - partly due to the development of (graphical) user interfaces - the end user is more and more comfortable and at ease with using products, while at the same time is less aware with the real, and often complex mechanisms that lie behind them.
Seen from this perspective, it seems that today’s end-users are increasingly out-of-touch with the products they use.
Our work is about demystification. The most striking element of our designs is that the most important mechanisms and constructions of the products are made visible.
All products of Studio Dirk Ploos van Amstel are designed and made according to this whitebox-approach.
