The softly curved corners soften the hard edges in a very appealing fashion. I agree that their shapes make them terribly impractical but I think their execution make them very elegant.

I agree with OG, not very practical, at lease Grcic’s approach reflects an economy of material and thoughtful design.

It proofs that math doesn't have to be boring. :D The tables are very neat and elegant. One thing I have my doubts about is the weight of the tables. 1 square meter of steel from 6mm thick weighs ca. 47 kg. The tables look very light, but they are not! :) If they were made from plywood they would be less heavy! I like these designs a lot.

It pushes us to see something that we might have otherwise missed. Love the idea, designs and execution. It would be awesome to see a collection dealing with more than just coffee tables.
