Product news: this table by Dutch designer Frederik Roijé has one top on three levels.
Called Tablefields, the design is produced from a single piece of folded sheet metal with three legs made of lacquered ash.
Roijé wanted the table to express the forms of tiered rice fields, which he had become interested in while travelling.
The table is manufactured in the Netherlands and is available in four colours.
Other objects by Roijé we've featured on Dezeen include a five-storey chicken coop and a series of aluminium bowls shaped like maps of New York and Amsterdam.
We recently featured another table that appears to be made from a single sheet of metal, while last year we reported on a tiered table that includes mirrors to view its patterned undersides.
Other tables we've published recently include a trestle table held in tension by sheets of bowed steel and an office table with swinging chairs mounted around it.

Amazing design from a designer from my country. The rice fields concept is really creative.
This one looks better:

I disagree. This one looks far more clean and functional.
Wow, these are too close. Who copied who?
I like it as well. Simple but effective. Would be big in Japan!
I miss an interaction between the legs and the top. While the legs seem to be very dominant in the overall play, there’s really no reason for them to be as they are. They’re just “placed” under.
It’s just another table. Where’s the quality? What’s functional about it? As so often seen with tables or chairs, it seems as if the designer had an idea for a table top but didn’t really know what to do with the legs. It’s one of these “I like something, so I designed this to look like this something” ideas. There’s no thought behind it.
