Glimpse is a side table designed for use beside seating units. The form of Glimpse is a reflection of an organic shape divided into small sections, joining an organic outline with a minimalist design. The table is made of wood and tempered glass. The wooden parts are produced with a CNC router, and silicone dots are attached to the wooden parts to stop the tempered glass from slipping.

Saltatur

Saltatur is a long-span table designed as a prefabricated composite structure. The table combines a compression-only concrete body, post-tensioning steel rods and an ultra-thin glass top. The glass top is shaped as a funicular three-hinged arch spanning 3.75 meters. The structural form was developed with three-dimensional graphic statics, so the concrete body is held in compression by tension ties at the top and bottom. The discrete spatial system reduces the volume of concrete and the carbon footprint while preserving the mass needed for structural performance.

The aim is to create an intuitive furniture that combines robustness with an ultra-thin shape. It takes only one twisting movement to deploy the stool. While all the hinges made of durable fabric keeping it light weight, the wooden sides provide stability.
