Levels CT: A Unique and Functional Coffee Table Design

Breaking the Mold with Jeffrey Day's Levels CT

The Levels CT coffee table is not your average piece of furniture. Its design is centered around the concept of accommodating different heights of surrounding furniture, allowing users to customize their space to their preferences. The table's overlapping sections create stepped planes, adding visual interest and providing additional usable surface area. This clever design choice also creates natural shadows, further enhancing the table's aesthetic appeal.

One of the standout features of the Levels CT coffee table is its central support column. Made from bending tubes, this column not only provides stability and support but also adds a touch of elegance to the overall design. The tubes peel off to provide the necessary support for the surfaces, creating a visually striking and unconventional look.

In terms of production, the Levels CT coffee table is designed to be both easy to manufacture and durable. The table's surface is CNC milled from 18mm bamboo, with a chamfer undercut that gives the illusion of a razor-thin surface. This manufacturing choice not only adds to the table's sleek appearance but also ensures its longevity.

Measuring 812mm in diameter and standing at a height of 430mm, the Levels CT coffee table is the perfect addition to any contemporary living space. Its dual height feature allows users to adjust the table to their liking, while the center handle makes it easy to move and adjust as needed.

The Levels CT coffee table was conceptualized in May 2016 and completed in August 2016 in Seattle. Jeffrey Day's research for this design focused on finding the ideal balance between table height and contemporary design. The challenge of creating planes that had a dialogue with each other while maintaining their individual identities was overcome through meticulous design exploration.

Recognized for its exceptional design, the Levels CT coffee table was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in 2017. This prestigious award is given to well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. The Levels CT coffee table's integration of industry best practices and competent technical characteristics make it a standout piece in the world of furniture design.

Jeffrey Day's Levels CT coffee table is a testament to the power of innovative design. With its unique features, sleek aesthetic, and practical functionality, this coffee table is sure to elevate any living space.
