HOK, the multi award-winning group of Californian professionals, headed, for the Product Design sector, by Susan Grossinger with Yelena Mokritsky, has designed Stage for Molteni & C, a rigorous geometrically shaped table.
Exploring negative space and minimalism are the concepts that led the designers to create a solid outlined by a slim profile, rather like a sheet of paper, but void in the middle. The use of different finishes outside (eucalyptus) and inside (glossy or matt lacquer finish), accentuates the effect of a solid floating in a vacuum. There are two versions, with or without container, which can be accessed through a door on the top for remote controls or small everyday objects storage.
