5050 Table
Laminated plywood coffee table
Fellow SCI-Arcian Jon Racek recently got in touch with us, and while I was familiar with his company, Stew Design Workshop, I didn't know that we shared an alma mater. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: for such a small school, it's amazing how SCI-Arc people seem to be everywhere doing interesting work. Jon and his brother Kevin, who is also an architect, are based in Burlington, Vermont, and design everything from furniture to architecture to graphics etc.

Jon was kind enough to share with us their new design for coffee table that they showed at ICFF this year. The 5050 Table is made from 540 three-inch pieces of laminated plywood. I'm not sure if the Stew guys have ever considered OCD medication, but their compulsiveness sure produces some exceptional furniture. I really like the striated surface and the table's woven, almost malleable appearance.

grr, another aggravating flash site
can someone please let designers and photographers in on the "secret" that flash websites suck? It's been common knowledge for a couple years now.
