The Embrace Table is an exploration of form and gesture. Inspired by the human body, Syd and Anna came together to create a table that expresses the meeting of two bodies.
Individually, the halves best function as side tables. The curvy top breaks the tradition of a square or rectangular shape offering the space with a round and playful energy. Only three pieces that interlock, the table is collapsible, allowing for the pieces to be stored or moved with ease.
As a pair, the halves merge around their curves, doubling in surface area and bringing them into a more conventional rectangular shape. In this configuration, the table can function as a coffee table.
Each half is great alone, but even better together
