Undulating Grid Furniture

The Phil Lamp and Coffee Table Adds a Digital Element to Homes

— April 18, 2011 — Art & Design
The Phil Lamp and Coffee Table look like those digital graphic waves that some might associate with very old computer programs. This retro-futuristic vibe is what gives these two pieces of furniture an interesting edge. Definitely statement pieces, they would modernize just about any living space instantly.

Designed by Ignacio Garcia, the Phil Lamp and Coffee Table takes its cue from organic forms and architecture structures to pave the way for a new wave of parametric designs. These two pieces are made out of wood and painted white. I love that although their undulating form is rather complex, they have a rather minimalist presence thanks to their simple color choice.
