"Eve Glider" the coffee table
Less materials and energy used for production - more comfort, functions and aesthetics received.
Coffee table is a center of home communication and nutrition, entertainment, work and leisure. In some families, this is the only table, so it is important to be affordable and universal. Most of the tables of classical forms are not functional and inconvenient.
The challenge was to invent a coffee table anew. It should have been multifunctional, comfortable, minimalistic, contemporary, exquisite, inspiring, lightweight, material and energy saving in production. All these diverse requirements were embodied into one new unique and solid form. It gives an easy access for sitting or lifting. Can be used as a footrest. Any object on the ledge of the tabletop is easily reached by the seated person without leaning forward. This is especially important for the elderly or disabled. In some cases, for convenience, it can be rotated 180 degrees.
It is applied in any region of the world where seating furniture is used. Can be made from recyclable materials such as plastic, chipboard or MDF.
