Down to Earth Collapsible Table
”Giving objects a regional identity” was the main idea of Emmy Galle’s diploma project in the field of furniture design. “Die Gute Stube“ (approx.“Home Sweet Home“) stands for a cosy and comfortable kind of living in an individual home. The designer’s work was inspired by her own home country in the North of Bavaria. Following old rustic craftsmanship the table “Bazi“ does not lose the contemporary context. Its legs are inserted into two plywood tabletops, which are fixed with small pegs instead of any glue. As these pegs are turned they refer to traditional handicraft paragons.
More stabilisation of the table is guaranteed by a box inset in the two tabletops where one can leave one’s belongings. Finally Emmy Galle attributes her table a similar character as the people from her country: Down to Earth and a little clumsy. But once you got used to its oddities you will love it exactly because of that! hh
