Bohr Tables

2017

Personal Project

I started researching the work of the Mexican/Spanish architect Eugenio Escudero. He designed a very extensive furniture collection that had a very particular style in the 1950’s and 1960’s. Based on this Bohr was conceived. The main idea was to create textures with the legs that support it while referencing the old Mexican custom of using textiles with patterns to protect the surfaces of coffee tables from liquids and hot items.‍
