An elegant side table by Danish architect Mette
Schelde integrates wood and glass seamlessly. Wood and glass merge smoothly
within this unique table design. Inspired by landscapes of wood stumps, Stub
(which means ‘stump’ in Danish) has a clear glass circle that floats around the
base with no visible screws or mountings.
About Designer |
Mette Schelde
|
The Danish architect Mette Schelde (b. 1985) works
experimentally from a starting point of function and everyday situations.
In 2012, Schelde established the studio from where she designs furniture,
lighting, and architecture. Her designs are functional and made of simple
constructions in a sculptural universe.
Schelde combines traditional materials such as wood, glass, and metal with
sensual functions. With simple lines and compositions, her studio explores new
methods and technologies that point both back and forth between tradition and
renewal.
Her process takes place across disciplines of sketching, modeling, building, and
testing and is driven by intuition and her 2016 written manifesto. Her
background in architecture is evident in the design process, where the
interaction between the object, the context, and the human is an important part
of her approach as she plunges into function in all its aspects.
Mette Schelde Studio has received several nominations and awards and is
supported by the Danish Art Foundation.
Mette Schelde’s first design for Fritz Hansen is the side table Stub. The table
integrates glass and wood in a functional assemble. The base locks the circle
of glass in position, floating around the base. |
