la SINFONIA de los ARBOLES: A Poetic Table Inspired by Nature

A Unique Combination of Stability and Delicacy

The table la SINFONIA de los ARBOLES, designed by Dagmara Oliwa, is a stunning piece that brings together the beauty of nature and the functionality of modern design. Inspired by the branches of trees, this table features a stable, openwork base and a delicate counter top that challenges the force of gravity.

The table la SINFONIA de los ARBOLES is a search for poetry in design. It draws inspiration from the way a forest appears from the ground, with columns fading away into the sky. From a bird's eye view, the forest resembles a smooth carpet, where verticality becomes horizontality while still maintaining its unified duality. This concept is beautifully translated into the table's design, with the branches of trees forming a stable base for a subtle counter top.

What sets la SINFONIA de los ARBOLES apart is its unique combination of stability and delicacy. The base of the table is made of polished stainless steel, giving it a sleek and modern look. The counter top, made of MDF, is covered with a wood veneer that features a delicate pattern, enhancing the natural feel of a thicket of trees. The sharp cut of the edge adds to the table's elegance and visual appeal.

One of the challenges in creating this design was connecting the upper and lower steel frames of the base with rods while maintaining the aesthetics. The manufacture of the table required great precision, as stainless steel is a difficult material to work with. The implementation also involved finding the right formulation for the white veneers to avoid a yellowing effect.

The table's dimensions are 2400mm in width, 1000mm in depth, and 750mm in height, making it a perfect addition to any dining room or living space. Its unique design allows for flexibility in seating, as users can sit at any place on its edge, thanks to its absence of traditional four legs.

La SINFONIA de los ARBOLES is not only a functional piece of furniture, but also a work of art that adds a touch of nature to any space. Its design captures the essence of a forest, with the sun's rays flickering through the branches, creating a sense of tranquility and harmony.

This exceptional design was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in 2016. It showcases outstanding expertise and innovation, combining strong technical characteristics with splendid artistic skill. The table la SINFONIA de los ARBOLES is a testament to the power of design to evoke positive feelings, amazement, and wonder.
