‘Push’ Table

Tables create a natural stage for social interaction, when we are gathered there the surface both joins and separates us. A clear surface welcomes use, be it the casual set down of an object, or a more prolonged visit.

Clearing the table is a simple task made complicated by the search for an alternative surface to temporarily relocate anything removed. An easy and desirable solution is to push everything off the surface and out the way, yet this movement is contrary to what culture, experience and common sense has taught us.

This table is based around the ‘pushing’ action. The sloped surface gently catches falling items, containing them until next required. It allows the most basic and initial response to clearing the table to take place.
