Client: Cheng Residence
2016 Taiwan
The Round Table and Storage series is a commissioned project for a resident sharing a flat with two friends in Taipei, Taiwan. The apartment’s open living and dining area is furnished with rounded wooden IKEA pieces, including a long dining table, several stools, a three-seater sofa, and a wide carpet. The tenants, photographers and artists, enjoy gathering in the common areas to relax and exchange ideas. To enhance this communal space, the client requested a low table for group gatherings and an open shelving system to display books, magazines, and art collections.
Designed to complement the industrially manufactured IKEA furniture, the pieces feature rounded geometric forms that allow for efficient mass production. However, the craftsmanship is revealed in the details—handcrafted mortise and tenon joints that add a touch of traditional woodworking to the design.
