70/70 by TAF Architects for MUUTO

The new 70/70 table designed by TAF Architects for MUUTO is really quite beautiful in it's minimalism. The warmth of color in objects and chairs add to the intrigue of the space this table could be used in.

“The 70/70 table is a study in geometric forms identifying the dimensions for a well-balanced table. It has an almost anonymous expression yet with careful detailing. The table is based upon two cast aluminum squared frames with the dimensions 70 x 70 centimeters.  The simple Scandinavian aesthetics balanced with the warmth from the layered wood adds personality to the table.” - TAF Architects

dhs, magazine table

It must be DHS love week, with my adoration for the Form Pendant earlier and now, this: the Magazine Table. If you're an avid magazine reader & stacker.. this table has you in mind.

Sort of like a tv tray, trolley and magazine filer all in one? Well, must more chic, of course.

make/do: table fun _thanksgiving '11

More Thanksgiving inspiration! Today I have a fun, interactive "centerpiece" idea for you that will get everyone at your dinner table chatting & saying funny things.

In addition to the standard assemblage of dish & silverware, set a cup, bowl or jar (as illustrated in the image above) at each place setting. Fill the jar with word tiles (from a Scrabble or Bananagram game)...allowing some tiles spill over.

Place a little book on each place setting along with a pencil for guests to keep score as mini-games take place around the table between guests. Any riff on the traditional word game would be fun -- but feel free to make up your own rules! My idea: only made up words with definition or slang words are acceptable! Fun, huh?!

Another idea: buy 8-10 feet (depending on the length of your dining table) of black butcher paper (this is available by the foot at your local school supply/learning store). Add chalk to the table & guest can keep score and/or doodle. I love the dramatic look of black on the dining table & the playfulness of the word tiles.

Happy Thanksgiving!
