Strech: The Innovative Carbon Fiber Coffee Table

An Unconventional Approach to Installation and Storage

Strech, designed by Mehmet Lutfi Hidayetoglu, revolutionizes traditional furniture installation techniques with its carbon fiber fabric. This innovative coffee table offers a minimalist, dynamic, and modern approach to design, while providing users with a hassle-free installation experience.

Unlike traditional furniture that requires tools and expertise for assembly, Strech utilizes an innovative furniture installation technique. By taking advantage of the elastic properties of composite fabric reinforced with carbon fiber, this coffee table can be easily assembled and disassembled without the need for any tools or equipment. The design presents a unique combination of strength and flexibility, allowing for practical installation and storage.

The manufacturing process of Strech involves three main parts that are processed through CNC woodworking machines. These parts are then reinforced with carbon fiber and joined with elastic fabric. The result is a sturdy and durable coffee table that stands on its own, without the need for additional support.

When it comes to transportation and storage, Strech offers unparalleled convenience. The coffee table is packaged unassembled in a flat box, with dimensions of approximately 60 x 50 x 5 cm. Weighing only 2.5 kg, it complies with international transport standards. Thanks to its compact layout in the box, there is no stacking limit, eliminating the need for manufacturers and sellers to reflect transport, storage, or installation costs to users.

Interacting with Strech is a breeze. The coffee table can be easily folded and unfolded by turning the plates that are folded over one another in the opposite direction. Its design allows for effortless customization and personalization, making it a perfect fit for restless and modern spaces.

The Strech design project was initiated in 2016 in Turkey, with the prototypes being made in September of the same year. The aim of the project was to create a furniture piece that could be assembled and disassembled multiple times by users, without the need for tools. The innovative approach not only provides flexibility and personalization but also helps manufacturers lower transportation, installation, and service costs.

Recognized for its ingenuity and creativity, Strech was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category in 2017. This prestigious award is bestowed upon designs that exhibit strong technical and creative skills, contributing to quality of life improvements and making the world a better place.

With its unique combination of carbon fiber, elastic fabric, and minimalist design, Strech is set to redefine the way we think about furniture installation and storage. Its innovative approach offers convenience, flexibility, and a touch of modern elegance to any space.
