The inspiration for the Kirigami Design table Cozy came from the experience of living in a cosmopolitan city like Singapore, where small apartments and a cozy lifestyle are the norm. The designer, Kirigami Design, wanted to create a collapsible and space-saving table that would fit seamlessly into any modern living space.
What sets the Kirigami Design table Cozy apart from other folding tables is its sustainable and engaging design. The company takes pride in its Scandinavian spirit and commitment to using eco-friendly materials. The table is made from high-quality birch plywood, which is not only durable but also adds a touch of natural beauty to the design.
The realization of the Kirigami Design table Cozy involved the use of CNC milling machines to cut the plywood into precise shapes. After the cutting process, the pieces go through sanding, varnishing, or oiling to enhance their appearance and durability. The result is a lightweight, fashionable, and steady table that can be assembled and disassembled in less than a minute.
The Kirigami Design table Cozy offers customization options with different wood veneers, allowing users to choose their favorite patterns and create a personalized look. This DIY furniture piece is not only functional but also a statement of style and individuality.
The Kirigami Design table Cozy was first introduced during the Milan Design Week in 2013. The prototype was presented as a flat pack in colorful bags, showcasing its portability and easy assembly. Since then, the table has gained recognition for its innovative design and practicality.
The Kirigami Design table Cozy has received the prestigious Bronze A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category. This award recognizes the outstanding creativity and resourcefulness of the design, as well as its contribution to improving the quality of life. The table's incorporation of best practices in art, science, design, and technology makes it a valuable addition to any modern lifestyle.
With its sustainable materials, compact design, and customizable options, the Kirigami Design table Cozy is a perfect choice for those seeking a functional and stylish piece of furniture for their living space. Its folding capabilities and easy assembly make it an ideal solution for small apartments or anyone looking to optimize their living space without compromising on style.
