Geometric Intersecting Furniture

The 3:1 Table by TJ O'Keefe Can Be Split Into Three Pieces

— October 19, 2011 — Art & Design
This interesting cubed design is the 3:1 Table by American furniture and object design company TJ O'Keefe.

Made of matte powder-coated steel, the 3:1 Table is a nesting table that features three geometric, intersecting pieces. When split apart, the table transforms into three individual components; so, you can use the table as a single cubed table or as three separate, distinct side tables in your home. Plus, this piece offers a modernistic flair that allows it to function as a sculpture as well as a piece of furniture.

Designer TJ O'Keefe, the founder of the company, has a background in industrial and graphic design as well as architecture. His overall goal is to create a line of products that marries all three elements, and he has definitely achieved that in the 3:1 Table.
Trend Themes
1. Modular Furniture - The creation of furniture that can be easily split into smaller, individual components offers a new design element that can be customized to fit people's needs and preferences for smaller living spaces.
2. Geometric Designs - The popularity of geometric and abstract designs continues to increase; companies that offer unique geometric and abstract furniture designs will have an edge in the market.
3. Multi-functional Furniture - The trend of multi-functional furniture is on the rise as consumers look for furniture that can serve multiple purposes in their homes, such as the 3:1 Table that can be used as a single table or split into three side tables.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture - Furniture companies can create and market unique modular, geometric, and multi-functional furniture designs like the 3:1 Table to meet consumers' growing demand for functional and stylish furniture in smaller living spaces.
2. Interior Design - Interior designers can incorporate modular and multi-functional furniture pieces with geometric designs in their interior design projects to create unique and visually interesting spaces.
3. Architecture - Architects can incorporate modular and multi-functional furniture pieces with geometric designs into their designs to create visually interesting spaces that can be customized to fit the needs of the users.
