While there are a lot of do-it-yourself tutorials teaching people how to create chalkboard furniture for the home or office, the Boiacca table is perhaps the first full-blown production model for consumers who don't necessarily have a crafty sensibility or the time to indulge one. Unique on more fronts than one, the Boiacca table is made out of steel-reinforced cement, which is more commonly used for modern architecture.
Created by Italian design duo LucidiPevere for Kristalia, the Boiacca table is very minimalist with incredibly thin legs. This not only encourages people to decorate its surface with chalk drawings, but also allows through drawings to stand out. Elegant and durable, it can be used both indoors and outdoors.
