I like the design: simple, elegant. Not feeling the yellow so much as I like how it was applied. It might work better with white instead.

i think the yellow is the cherry on the cake! the table is simple but fun because of the painted color, i would TOTALLY buy it for that yellow!

toodles – I don’t think posting things on dezeen qualifies anything as ‘anonymous’….

…. though it’s interesting – are you saying that so called ‘anonymous design’ has a very particular style? I think so…which really means it’s not anonymous – but wants people to know that the designer wants people to think they are a person who cares about ‘anonymous design’ – e.g. Muji is alllll about style – not ‘no style’ as they declare. A lot of high profile designers talk about ‘anonymous design’ like it’s a badge of honour… yet they go out there to tell everyone this (Jasper hands up). There are millions of ‘anonymous design’ designers out there… you just don’t hear about them.

It’s a really nice table – the yellow reminds me of the plywood on construction sites stained yellow (in Europe) mixed with unprimed lumber – was this the idea? Totally not ‘anonymous’… has a nice familiarity without being too familiar.

@bart

‘anonymous stuff’ is what we should all be aiming for.

very very sophisticated, even poetic work in the tradition of arts and crafts!
had the same idea some time ago, so i must know! : )
it combines pureness and simplicity of a significant colour and
the warmness and truth of material while consciously resisting the common, epidemic threat to become overdesigned anonymous stuff
or just another piece of irrelevant designcrap.
soulful, charming and pretty human after all!
