About the Item

TTTTable by MOB Designer: BAST (France) Dimensions: H 72 x D 110 x W 300 cm Material: 2mm steel sheet, 2mm aluminium sheet, 10mm steel bar, Klein Blue medium glossy painting. The board of a table is much more than a mere support: it is a line that divides two worlds. On its upper part certain codes are maintained, there are prescribed ways and conventions. Above that level reigns the protocol, the scopic, the customs and courtesies. Everything changes under the table. There appear the flirtations, the furtive gestures, the hidden. In this invisible field dominate the unseen signals and the secret codes, the tactile ones. Also the pets rest covered by an architecture to their measure and, inadvertently, doze. Under that plane, the feet are confused and mixed in a small choreography, where the human and artificial legs intermingle, claiming the latter, sometimes annoyingly, their presence. The TTTTable proposes a rereading of the support of the usual table archetype, provided with one or four legs. The table, is here converted into a sum of elements that are presented in its maximum lightness, in its minimum expression, thanks precisely, to its massive replication and its strategic position. Its 12 legs allow a homogeneous support and minimize the bending of the board, which allows an optimization of the material and at the same time generates new laws under it. MOB is an international design incubator that develops furniture projects designed by artists and architects. Based in Lisboa and Santiago de Chile, MOB aims to invite young creators from different parts of the world to present proposals that confront their points of view around a piece of furniture. Through exercises based on their own local realities, these pieces are located in a global scene and then finally return to the intimate context of their daily use. MOB invites creatives with both emerging and established careers, always under the premise of looking for fresh and particular voices with their own style and challenging their contexts. In this way, they want to materialize personal research into products capable of transmitting the complexity of social and formal thinking. MOB aims to produce commercial pieces that establish connections capable of developing crossovers between multiple places, creators, users, and ideas, through a production model based on commissioning design by invitation, manufacturing and distributing certificated limited editions by MOB ensuring high production standards.
