BLANCO

COFFEE TABLE

Thoughtfully crafted in 2024

Inspired by the works of architect-designer Mauro Dell’Orco, the Blanco Table pulls from the profile of his 2013 OpTable and uses the same undulating pattern as my Ruffle series. Similar to the Ruffle side table, a large tray interlocks the waves on one-third of the topside while the rest of the surface remains flat to maintain the table’s utility. Instead of ending the waves at the transition point, they continue in flux to the underside. This allowed the ripples to contour the entire silhouette and created a unique and unexpected visual detail. A circular cut out was designed into the side-wall to draw a relationship to the round tray on top.

Waves, ripples, squiggles, and ruffles are becoming very popular details found in today’s furniture. For good reason: they add a playfully soft and elegant visual that works well in the contemporary home.
