The main idea in the design of furniture of modern design is a combination of ergonomic principles and the use of natural materials.
The combination of several types of raw materials, giving the countertop a non-standard shape, using curbstones instead of legs, supports with hidden compartments, modular add-ons and extensions to increase functionality is popular.
Original geometry
The indoor table will always be seen. It sets the atmosphere, attracts attention, especially if these are exclusive unusual design models. Each of them is a work of modern art. They enchant and surprise. Here are just a few examples of such products:
- Nebbessa. A unique table is one of the most beautiful and unusual items in the history of furniture fashion. There is nothing superfluous in it, even drawers, but the large size of the countertops compensates for this drawback. Drops of water have become a source of inspiration for designers. Smooth forms, a beautiful varnished surface - all this will ideally fit into a modern interior.
- Car. A brutal, truly masculine table. It is made in the shape of a car bumper. The unique product will be a wonderful decoration for a study or library of a strong man.
- Ghost. The product, made in the form of a small coffee table or a full dining table, deservedly got its name. A glass tablecloth hangs from the countertop, but the table itself does not exist. It creates the illusion that a piece of furniture hovers above the floor.
- Dripping table. Bright paint trickles down the surface of the table. This embodiment of design thought evokes a feeling of lightness.
Be sure to remember that choosing an unusual table should make it the main accent detail of the interior, otherwise there is a risk of overloading the situation.
Functional know-how
Standard furniture has already ceased to satisfy the needs of modern city dwellers. In studio apartments, which have been actively in demand in recent years, excess items are unacceptable. Transformer tables are ideal. Such a product can easily be transformed into a place for work, a meal or in a magazine model. The size and shape of the countertops can be selected according to the number of guests.
Designers updated the well-known table cabinet. It takes up very little space. But if you expand it, you get a whole set: a table and 2 chairs.
To retire in a large studio apartment or a small odnushka, without resorting to installing various screens or partitions, will allow a table with a hood. The model has a lifting dome made of veneer. It has soundproof properties, which allows you to completely isolate yourself from ambient noise and focus on work.
Furniture manufacturers today are not tired of surprising consumers with new ideas. For lovers of fluffy pets, a wooden table with a place for a cat is offered. There are a lot of models. You can choose a simple design with an additional shelf below, or you can get hold of a whole cat's house.
Fancy stuff
Unusual furniture often involves the use of non-standard materials. Although not always. Sometimes we take familiar material, such as wood, but the way it is presented makes us admire the flight of thought of designers. Examples are tables in which the bases are made of such elements:
- whole tree trunk;
- longitudinal cut of the trunk;
- cross cut - slab.
Original tables made using epoxy are obtained. It all depends on the imagination of the master. You can use wood in different types: saw cuts, trim boards, log blocks, branches. Even wooden barrels are used. The table-river looks spectacular, where the banks are made of wood of an unusual shape, the river is epoxy. Interesting models with coniferous branches, pebbles, shells, corks or coins covered with resin. They will become a good decoration of a classic-style living room, study or even a meeting room.
A separate direction is furniture made from parts of mechanisms. Most often used car parts, due to their availability. But there are designer models made from parts of the aircraft.Such furniture looks brutal and in demand mainly among wealthy lovers of technology, in men's clubs, hairdressers for men.
Designer T. Winke (Holland) made an entire mobile office from polystyrene foam. Everything is there: a table, chairs, shelves for books and papers, a table lamp. The product was called Kruikantoor and even found its fans.
Combination of invoices
It seems that everything was once done, and nothing new can be imagined. But the modern generation of designers with each of their models proves that even the familiar can be imagined in an amazing, stylish and very beautiful form. The combination of textures gives rise to unusual tables:
- Glass. In combination with the base of interesting shapes, an ordinary glass tabletop becomes a water surface, hiding various animals and objects underneath. So, a very realistic hippo, carved from solid wood, peeps out from under the water in the design work “Hippo”. Or, for example, an octopus made of metal became the frame for the original coffee table. For lovers of minimalism, a wonderful coffee table made of stone and glass will bring a touch of creativity to the surrounding interior.
- Wooden. Very interesting are the models made by combining wood with other materials, such as metal. The table "Honeycombs" is made of natural wood with a metal braid. It fits perfectly into the interior of the porch of a country house.
An unexpected find can be a plywood table. This material has been undeservedly ignored; tables made of it are not inferior in strength to wood or MDF. And thanks to its flexibility, it is possible to make furniture of various bizarre shapes from plywood. In combination with wood or glass, exclusive interior items are obtained.
Unexpected colors
Designer furniture surprises and amazes not only with its intricate shapes, but also pleases the eye with amazing beauty in patterns and colors. A striped epoxy table is an unexpected choice for pop art or classic. Modern manufacturers through the use of photo printing are able to make furniture with any images. Methods for creating glass tables with a kaleidoscope effect have been developed. They perfectly complement the classic interiors.
Mistresses especially liked the prints, because it’s so easy to care for them. Bright prints make the kitchen tables unique; they are easy to fit into the interior. There are amazing lace patterns with ruffles of tablecloths; you can choose a print with a texture for textiles or “put” a service on the table.
If you want the table to be decorated with a space print or just a photograph of a family, then photo printing will help to fulfill such a dream.
Using modern technology
The advent of new technologies opens up ever greater horizons for the activities of furniture design masters. Art photos on plastic and glass are steadily entrenched in thematic interiors. Using 3D printing technology allows you to turn ordinary tables into fabulously beautiful works of art. The choice of themes for decor is unlimited: stone, wood, concrete and metal textures are reproduced with high accuracy. The base repeats the saturation of colors and the smallest details of the drawings.
3D-drawings will help to complement any interior with a beautiful unique table. The table top in the form of a world map will take its rightful place in the marine living room, and the original photo collage or comic book will emphasize the idea of pop art. The pages of the newspaper on the table will add vintageness, and the space distance will fit perfectly into the interior with notes of fiction.
Worktops of desks and coffee tables are often decorated with typesetting. Here you can use a variety of materials ranging from wood, cut with a laser machine into simple geometric shapes, to stone, glass, and everything that will be inspired by a design idea.
Unusual furniture always attracts attention. Thinking about purchasing a custom table for your home, you need to carefully consider the future interior. Bold design decisions are increasingly finding fans, turning apartments into cozy themed corners.
