thai designer apiwat chitapanya has designed a side table that stands out due to its details and sculpturality. manufactured piece by piece, the ‘feather table collection’ uses skilled craftsmanship that results in exquisite pieces where small stainless steel pieces are welded in order to create a composition of feathers. this welded element acts as the base of the table, supporting the wood top.

feather side table and coffee table

the collection consists of one side and one coffee table. both have that hand-made welded stainless steel base and a wooden top. the feather-like base gives the sensation that the table is so light that in any given moment it might fly.

the spaces in between the feathers give the table a light and airy feel
