W Tables

make me! 2018

The project was created for the Fundacja Zmiana, which runs the Neighborhood Library, where you can meet friends, exchange books or talk. Tables that owe their name to the characteristic W-shaped structure are lightweight, easy to transport and assemble. They can be carried by a single person, and after disassembling they fit into the trunk of a small car, making their transport easy and cheap. This was one of the main design assumptions, because the tables are used during workshops, picnics, meetings, especially outside the Foundation’s premises, and they have already visited many cultural centers, Otwarta Ząbkowska Festival and the POLIN Museum. A part of the diploma project was also a series of meetings called “Literacka Kuchnia Polowa” (Literary Field Kitchen) during which the participants read books, and later cooked and ate meals drawn from the lectures. During the premiere meeting, we prepared a potato soup inspired by the fragment of “Death of Beautiful Deer” by Ota Pavel.
