Yılmaz Dogan's Patchwork: A Masterpiece of Material Harmony

Discover the Award-Winning Table Design that Redefines Flexibility and Innovation

Yılmaz Dogan's Patchwork table is a unique blend of industrial materials, offering a flexible design solution that adapts to changing trends and needs. This innovative design, which won the Silver A' Furniture Design Award in 2019, showcases a seamless combination of different materials, colours, and textures, creating a versatile piece of furniture that can serve as both a dining and meeting table.

The Patchwork table, designed by Yılmaz Dogan, is inspired by the use of different industrial materials on a single plane. The design allows for easy replacement of parts, making it adaptable to new trends and decorations. This feature also makes it easy to address local deformations on the table surface, a common issue with horizontal plane furniture.

What sets the Patchwork table apart is its ability to harmoniously combine different materials, colours, and textures on the same plane. The table's leg structure, represented by the projectional height of the combined materials, forms a seamless construct. The design eliminates the challenges of using different materials on the same plane and transitions between textures with intermediate jointing.

The Patchwork table is produced using advanced technology, including CNC milling cutters and Laser CNCs. The table can incorporate a wide range of materials, including marble, wood, acrylic, glass, lacquered surfaces, leather and fabric coverings, concrete surfaces, and metal coatings. The table's parts can be disassembled, providing flexibility in production and assembly.

The Patchwork table is available in various sizes, including 300 x 100 x 75cm, 240 x 100 x 75cm, 360 x 120 x 75cm, and 420 x 120 x 75cm. Thanks to its medium carrier support leg structure, it can easily meet the needs of long and large meeting and dining tables.

The Patchwork table was first designed in February 2016 and completed in March 2016. It was featured in Design Week Turkey in November 2018. The design is protected by a Utility Model and Design Registration, ensuring the originality and uniqueness of the Patchwork table.

The Patchwork table is a testament to Yılmaz Dogan's innovative approach to furniture design. By combining different materials in a coplanar way, Dogan has created a table that is not only functional and flexible but also a work of art. The Patchwork table is a perfect example of how design can adapt to changing trends and needs, offering a versatile solution for both dining and meeting spaces.
