Korean product designer Ramei Keum has designed a steel table called Gorge.
The top and legs form one piece and create storage for magazines in slots running down two sides.
The metre-wide piece of furniture is made of powder-coated steel.
Here's a bit of text from Keum:

Gorge / 2009
‘Gorge’ is a coffee table with a shape of a gorge.
Designing it, I strived to put it in a form so that elements composing of a table such as a top board and legs may become one element, not individual elements.
The shape of a gorge folded in a V shape itself plays a structural role of supporting the top board of the table, and plays a role of holding/keeping magazines or books as well as completing an aesthetic form of the table.

Its gorgeous … as a corner unit
(I cringe at the thought of walking into the corner of that coffee table … its bound to hurt/inflict pain!)
Olive, I have the same idea, haha but anyway it’s a beautiful piece of work, it reminds me a mountain and a valley.
“it reminds me of a mountain and a valley”, I’m sure Mr. Keum is grateful for your insight.
interesting but stupid…
Un objet à la base assez simple devient une sculpture ayant une fonction selon l’imagination de ce designer.
il serait intéressant de voir comment une table de 6 ou 8 personnes pourraient avoir ce langage” edge design ”
Bravo.
delicate and useful!
Is this table designed for dwarfs ? It looks too low. Only Koreans and Japanese will seat on the floor.
it’s a steel killer application…. as my Mies Van der Rohe Barcelona table in glass
There is no beauty or reasonable form… Why did you make it?
Don’t forget saving your money in your pocket. man.
Georgeklummy,
Maybe.. It’s a sofa table.
To bet,
Mind your own business.
“To bet, Mind your own business.”
Ramei,
good architecture
good art piece
good art design piece
good detail observation:plays a role of holding/keeping magazines or books
BUT please with a low table dunnot kill your client or my children, it’s our own business too…write it’s a corner table as mentionned by Olive.
