Furniture Design I

 

Christa Gorman | Graduation Year: 2024 | Assistant Professor Kendra Kirchmer

This coffee table is inspired by the postmodernist movement and intended for a gallery waiting room, its design led by the idea of creating a fun, far-fetched table that still provides the same functions of a traditional coffee table. The tabletop features a soft and highly textured pattern, as well as legs that help grab attention and reinforce the following ideas: the asterisk for gaining attention, the arrow for guiding attention, and the circle as a final focused destination. These bold shapes and vibrant colors then show off to other coffee tables how fun yet function it is, almost saying, "See?"
