Posted on by

A good table design is not only important for public spaces. Having well-designed tables at home is also necessary because people spend more time in the house now than they do outside.

Many people have made themselves comfortable in their home offices. However, the quest for the best home office furniture pieces and tools doesn’t stop. We are still looking for the most extraordinary and most efficient items.

If you’ve finally decided to get serious about building your home office, you may consider the TRAILO. This Office Table Program 4.0 includes different accessories that can be very useful. You can say this is a modular table as it accepts various attachments and even different table legs.

The Trailo comes with the REISS SCHIENE, a unique sheet metal profile. It is placed underneath the tabletop, where the table legs are attached. You can also add a monitor holder or a document tray. An acoustic panel can also be added, depending on your needs and activities.

The REISS SCHIENE allows you to move along the add-ons as made possible by a trolley. You have several choices for the table legs depending on where you place the table. The acoustic panel is ideal for those who need quieter environments, especially when on a call or when you need to record something. It’s a 360-degree traveling sound absorber that can move along the table’s edges. You can also put a tray there for your different accessories and devices like smartphones or headsets. Other attachments include an organizer tray that can also move along.

The system features a sliding tabletop and a cable duct that allow you to hide the unsightly wires. In addition, you can attach a modesty panel to cover what’s underneath. Several choices of legs are also offered, including a set that features height adjustment. The adjustable legs let you set the table higher for when you want to work while standing.

TRAILO was designed by Studio Läufer & Keichel for Reiss Büromöbel GmbH. The table system has the potential to expand with the trolley and add-ons. We can imagine more accessories and attachments can be designed and implemented to make the office table more efficient.

We have seen other modular tables recently, like the Monomode, but that one is for a safer and cleaner dining experience. Razer also introduced an all-in-one modular gaming desk design. The ultra-minimal desk hides its modular nature in plain sight. That height-adjustable smart table with customizable modules can definitely keep a work-from-home space organized.

Japanese zen gardens inspired the sinuous design of this shapeshifting timber table

Posted on by

Outside In is a multifunctional, shapeshifting table that incorporates hand-carved grooves into its timber frame to resemble the raked ruts of Japanese zen gardens.

Japanese zen gardens have supplied ceaseless inspiration for designers. While the sheer meditative quality of zen gardens is enough to insight some new ideas, the artful design of zen gardens rakes its own creative vision for designers. Melbourne-based furniture, lighting, and object design company Sabu Studio found its own creative vision by way of Japanese zen gardens when designing the minimalist Outside In table.

Designer: Sabu Studio x Samuel Burns

Designed for his collection of personal and bespoke projects, Sabu Studio founder Samuel Burns designed Outside In to be a multifunctional, shapeshifting table defined by its sinuous timber surface that resembles the hand-raked grooves of a zen garden.

While the tabletop’s timber grooves resemble zen gardens’ raked ruts, they also double as rails for hand-carved granite and marble elements to slide between and provide functional flat surfaces. Two halves of a rectangular marble element can separate to create two small flat surfaces. Or, when users need a larger tabletop surface, the two halves come together to form a larger rectangle.

Burns turned to the flow of water and Japanese zen gardens to introduce elements of nature to interior city spaces. Fully functional as a table, Outside In is a crafty piece of furniture that would look right at home in hospitality common spaces or even event halls.

Explaining the piece’s origins, Burns notes, “The primary aim of Outside In was to introduce a sense of the natural world into interior spaces through form and symbolism. The design investigates materials dialogues and the notion of synergy, each object can shift and slide across the surface in a circular motion.”

This height adjustable smart table with customizable modules keeps your WFH space organized

Posted on by



The hybrid work lifestyle is scaling new highs as work from home continues to be a way to help curb the spread of the coronavirus. Considering the altering furniture demands of users confined to their homes, designers and brands are creating smart tables integrated with features to make working from home easier. This is exactly what the new Rune Modular Table intends to do as well, in a way not imagined before.

We have seen IKEA step up to transform the entire work desk into a wireless charger and Razer design a conceptual table with separate modules users can swap and install as they desire. Continuing in the same space, designer Mok Zijie foresees an intelligent table with cleaver features like height adjustment and modules that fit seamlessly into the sockets concealed in the table’s surface.

With the Rune table and its accompanying modules, the designer intends to create a new standard of productivity for a hybrid work population that is continuously juggling – day in a day out – between different roles resulting in a cluttered table every time they set out for a new task. If you have been working from home or know someone who is caught up in the act, you will instantly relate to the problem of clutter on the table. Wires, stationary, smart devices all piled up on your work desk is a problem that needs a solution, and Rune sets out to provide that through a good quality minimalistic desk.

The Rune smart table has a slim form factor, yet holds cutouts on the surface with magnetic sockets to accommodate various modules for a lamp, speaker, wireless charger, stationery container and more. Users can customize the table – with modules of choice – from the Rune website. These modules flush right into the slots on the smart table allowing seamless visual experience. Onboard is the Rune Controller module that provides users complete control over the table and its configuration. When a new module is connected to the magnetic socket, the controlled automatically detects the installed module and offers options to control and uninstall it to make space for a new module.

If you’re struggling with a cluttered desk and storage is a primary focus, the Rune Modular Table is conceptualized to adjust to your requirements and minimize unnecessary pile up on your workstation to make it look light and clean at all times.

With 12 different configurations possible, this modular bedside table will fit anywhere you like!

Posted on by

The most dynamic pieces of furniture are typically the pieces that offer more than meets the eye. The chair that doubles as a storage bin and work desk, the lamp that transforms into a clock radio, or air purifiers that also work as bookshelves. There are some designs that attempt to totally transform a product’s use through modularity, but then some other designs whose aim is to provide several different uses for the same product through the breakdown and reconstruction of its modular components. Such is the case for NÓMADA, a modular, multi-purpose bedside table.

The team behind NÓMADA decided to attain the bedside table’s modularity through the material used during its production process by carving and integrating notches, buttons, and twisted, narrow chutes into each wooden and steel panel used for construction. It’s a good thing too because tools can be tricky to store in smaller living spaces like apartments or studios. The end result makes up a bedside table that appears simple and whose purpose seems singular upon first glance, but when deconstructed, the possibilities for restructuring NÓMADA are laid out in front of you, all you have to do is mix-and-match as your tabular needs guide you. Even if you just want a subtle revamp or facelift for your apartment’s design, simply unscrew and see which pieces fit where! NÓMADA comes with four main components: four table legs with adjustable lengths, a steel storage area with a matte finish, and a classic wooden drawer with the same stain as the legs. The compatible color scheme and sleek structure of NÓMADA also help to move the reconstruction process along smoothly. By simply unscrewing the table’s legs from the steel storage area and removing the drawer feature, users can configure the side table in any way that works best for them and their living space. An elevated desk tray can be detached and function on its own, while the table maintains its core purpose or the height of the table’s legs can be adjusted in order to either shorten the table’s height or give it some length to reach higher bedsides.

NÓMADA is capable of producing twelve different configurations so that it can adapt to any of your needs or living spaces. Coated in neutral tones and comprising a minimalist end design, NÓMADA not only morphs into new structures with the ease of a screw but also offers a breadth of both cohesiveness and simplicity to your personal interior-design taste with its sleek, elegant color scheme and lean frame.
