I like how it is connected with wire legs. Nice detail. I like it.

Beautiful idea. A couple of points: 1) These tables will exhibit too much racking. 2) The screws are not going to be screwed into steel rods that meet the tabletop at an angle. Perhaps they are connecting a plate that the rods are welded to? If so, what accounts for their pattern?

Extremely graceful, elegant and beautiful.

I must however agree with nintendo “These screws will pose a functional problem with users who require a flat surface for writing or drawing.”

For me those same screws also disturb the aesthetics of an otherwise sublime design.

@ trimtab21

maybe a “parental advisory” label would save this brilliant design?

no joke. it happens so fast – the toddler falls, his neck gets wedged into the vee formed by the legs rods – gravity does the rest and he gets hung to death or a broken neck.
Lior – try an experiment using a doll and you will see.

These are incredible, they seem to be light enough to float away, and the screw detail on the surface of the table just elevates the design to something that would cause the whole table to start talking about its design.

I love it! Specially the small table with the concrete leg, very elegant indeed.
I agree that the screws could be done more elegant but solved very nicely by adding the colors.
I would definably buy it and with regards to trimtab2, I can’t see how it would cause death to a child than any other ordinary table???

simple but very creative idea!
