Architectural Elegance Meets Everyday Life: The Y Table

REDA AMALOU DESIGN's Award-Winning Creation Inspired by Modernist Architecture

REDA AMALOU DESIGN's Y Table is not just a table; it's an architectural object. The design is inspired by the expressive reinforced concrete used in mid-20th century modernist architecture, where tension in structural elements is heroically expressed. The Y Table mirrors this concept, presenting a complex structural composition while maintaining a pure, elegant form. The design draws particular inspiration from Oscar Niemeyer's cathedral, a prime example of this architectural style.

The Y Table's unique properties lie in its form, structure, and materials. The table's central pedestal is formed by eight 'Y' members, barely touching each other at the tip. This minimal contact point between each 'Y' element creates a 'folding' pattern, adding to the table's architectural appeal. The 'Y' structure defines a space at the center of the object, and the glass slab, along with the shadow created by the material's transparency, makes users aware of the object's presence.

The Y Table functions perfectly as a table, but it also allows users to relate to the space it creates. It comes in three variations: a dining table, a coffee table, and a side table. The materials used include American walnut, black steel, and extra clear glass. The dining table measures Dia 1500 x h 750 mm, the coffee table Dia 1100 x h 380mm, and the side table Dia 600 x h 460 mm.

The Y Table is a testament to REDA AMALOU DESIGN's ability to bring architecture into everyday life objects. Its form, structure, and materials define it differently from other tables, highlighting the designer's unique approach. This design has been recognized for its excellence, winning the Golden A' Furniture Design Award in 2016. The award is granted to marvelous, outstanding, and trendsetting creations that reflect the designer's prodigy and wisdom, embodying extraordinary excellence and significantly impacting the world with their desirable characteristics.
