Chieut: A Pictorial Translation of Minimalism

Jay Design's Award-Winning Table Redefines Classic Furniture

The inspiration behind Chieut is a fearless pictorial translation of the Korean word into a sophisticated table. The design highlights a new facet of minimalism that denies abstraction and welcomes figurative visual representation. The result is a piece of furniture that is not only practical but also a work of art.

What sets Chieut apart from other designs is its unique properties. The table is built with simple and thin steel pipes that form a nimble base. An oval steel sheet, just as agile, sits off-balance, defying the norms of classic tables. This balancing act creates a visually striking piece that challenges our perception of stability and balance in furniture design.

The table is realized through matte anodized steel, using techniques such as welding, laser cutting, and CNC. The technical specifications of the design are H 500 x W 350 x L 520 (mm), making it a compact yet impactful addition to any living space.

Despite its artistic aesthetic, Chieut functions as an ordinary coffee table. It is a testament to Jay Design's ability to balance form and function, creating pieces that are not only visually appealing but also practical. The design project, which started in April 2012, continues to evolve in detail modification and manufacturing.

One of the challenges faced during the design process was finding a balance between detail and usability. However, Jay Design successfully overcame this hurdle, creating a table that is as functional as it is artistic. The intellectual property rights of Chieut belong to Jay Design, further cementing their reputation as innovative designers.

Chieut's recognition with the Golden A' Furniture Design Award in 2017 is a testament to its outstanding design. The award is granted to creations that reflect the designer's prodigy and wisdom, embodying extraordinary excellence and significantly impacting the world with their desirable characteristics. Chieut is indeed a trendsetting creation that advances art, design, and technology.
