Tables

It's funny where you find inspiration from. I saw one of the most hideous tables while researching where to take my IP project. I don't remember where I saw it, and instantly passed by it thinking, "I would never make anything like this in my lifetime."

Last night I went to Chili's on Washtenaw Rd. for dinner with my best friend. Our server took us through the sea of different table sections, I noticed something that most would pass up. All tables when in increments of two. You have the table for two, four, six... then the mammoth that seat however many asses you can cram in there. However, our server sat us at a table for four. Why? There was only two people, we didn't need a table for four. In fact, there was a table for two across the isle from where we were sitting.

What does it mean to for a table of two, vs. a table for twenty (besides size). I instantly looked back at the hideous table I originally saw and decided to use that as a jumping off point.

I got this idea to create a bench seating table (unlimited seating... depending how many asses you can fit on each bench... so when you're skinny... that means A LOT.) yet if you turn it, or flip it, it becomes an intimate seating for two.

I made a model. Don't judge my model. It's heinous. All I have is a jewlers saw, cardboard, Elmer's glue, and an eye infection... but I think it will work once I work out some details.
