Wood and steel

The Pelican low coffee table by German furniture designer Deniz Aktay is an interesting design that impresses us with its art and creativity. Pelican evokes memories of art sculptures as it is created using a single piece of metal stripe. It appears somewhat inspired by the color of the Pelican’s beak. The metal stripe is artfully bent in an hourglass-like shape at the bottom which stands stably on the ground without any additional support.

Poised, a table that appears to be on the verge of falling over, is a star attraction of the British designer Paul Cocksedge’s first solo show.

The Glass Trestle table "explores the relationship between steel and wood to complement each other in a way that each material is intrinsically weak without the other," Pedersen says.
