Project Tripod: A Sculptural Table Base Designed for Creative Expression

Blending Art and Functionality in Furniture Design

The Tripods project was born out of the desire to capture the intricate beauty of the Great Coral Reef, where colonies of polyps work together to create a breathtaking spectacle. By emulating the undulating lines and organic design found in the reef, Pavel Volovov has created a table base that is both visually striking and conceptually meaningful.

What sets Tripod apart from traditional table bases is its emphasis on customer involvement and creative expression. Each Tripod sculpture is made of brass and consists of three pillars that fluidly connect. The design allows for multiple Tripods to be assembled together, creating a unique and customizable structure. Customers can let their imagination run wild as they experiment with different combinations and arrangements, transforming the Tripods into a side table, dining table, console, or even a low table.

The assembly process becomes an adventure rather than a chore, with customers actively participating in the creation of their furniture piece. This interactive approach not only adds a sense of excitement but also ensures that no two Tripod creations are the same. It empowers customers to showcase their artistic qualities and make a personal statement in their living spaces.

To achieve impeccable quality, Tripods are made using a high-pressure brass casting and hand polishing process. The result is a sculpture that exudes elegance and sophistication. The tops of the furniture pieces are made of tempered glass, adding a touch of modernity to the overall design.

Since its inception in Moscow in 2014, the Tripods project has garnered attention for its innovative approach to furniture design. The combination of artistic expression, customer involvement, and high-quality craftsmanship has resonated with design enthusiasts around the world.

In recognition of its outstanding creativity and resourcefulness, the Tripods project was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category in 2018. This prestigious accolade celebrates designs that contribute to quality of life improvements and exhibit strong technical and creative skills.

With Tripod, Pavel Volovov has reimagined the traditional table base, transforming it into a work of art that invites customers to unleash their creativity. By blending form and functionality, Tripod offers a truly unique and personalized furniture experience.
