m table by raf dauwe from germany
designer's own words:
Nourishment is more than just a necessity, it is a most important social event in our daily lives. The M-table provides multiple functionality in the heart of the home.
The M-table is a `real´ kitchen table on which one can not only eat, read the newspaper or drink a cup of coffee... you can cook on it as well! It is a strategic piece of furniture capable of generating and fusing social activities at home.
There are a lot of possible scenarios to think of, just to name a few : a child can do its homework while father is preparing dinner, more people can cook together at the same time, you can talk with the guests you invited for dinner while cooking the dinner... even when nobody is cooking it still is an important and useful spot in the house.
Through it’s `waved´ form the M-table provides the different heights necessary for both sitting and standing, as well as for two sinks in the middle. 5 ceran induction cook tops are integrated in the higher part, when they are off they enlarge the table surface. The continuous form is covered with Corian plates its surface nice to touch easy to clean and hygienical. The M-table offers the basic cooking equipment, all other kitchen apparatus (fridge, oven, microwave, storage,...) can be incorporated in closets or shelves against the wall.
