Piercing could become the next big design trend if Stefan Jäger & David Laudert have anything to say about it. Their Lauder Table is a two-storey wood table connected via haphazardly placed metal rods.
Although the Lauder Table takes some time to get used to, it is actually a very elegant piece of furniture. The smooth wood panels that gently slope down on opposite sides are what really does it for me. Check it out here and decide for yourself whether you like this new design direction.
