New York Ta(b)les: Part 2

We came, we saw, we sat on the floor…

But it needn’t have been so…..

Once again the Europeans show the Americans how it should  be done. One of the largest stands in New York was that from the Saloni Milano -a  mix of the finest Italian designers: And they brought their own press room. No electricity, no Internet…but tables. And coffee.  How fondly we look back on April….

Although greatly impressed by the typewriter, we also liked Desk 51 by American producer bludot as a desk. Personally we wouldn’t use the pull out lower surface, as suggested,  for stowing a keyboard; much more the beauty for us is that you can “hide” piles of papers, notebooks and the like when the desk is not in use. And so give the impression at least that your desk isn’t cluttered.

We don’t neccesserily need a large table… a small side table will do. For example the stable, yet practically height adjustable Tom Tom by Konstantin Grcic for SCP.

Or the gorgeous Spot Table by Tom Dixon with its interchangeable height stems….

But what does all this help, we don’t have a table…and so nowhere to place the Foster Series desk accesories by Sir Norman Foster for Helit :(
