Using the most elementary steel stock parts as their starting point, MSDS Studio has created an architectural little side table.
Their design ‘Stock’ presents metal in a raw and deconstructed way, while retaining a delicate, rigid quality. The table’s unconventional leg arrangement emphasises the material’s strength and produces an interesting composition of elements.
The aesthetic negative spaces – the airy open area under the table top and the triangle between the angled legs – come from disregarding the traditional arrangement of table legs, creating a new form of symmetry. Stock appears as a small, strict piece of sculpture, which also serves as a practical, stable side table.
