Deniz Atkay Designs the Slide Table Concept with a Single Sheet

— August 31, 2024 — Art & Design
Deniz Atkay designed the Slide Table, which is a design concept highlighting the elements of its packaging and manufacturing process. All parts of the entire table are made with a single sheet of wood which means that the mass-produced variations would have the same quality.

This achieves a sustainable notion as the designer was looking to reduce the most amount of waste possible. The surface is a circle disc which is carved from the center of a wooden plank. The remaining areas are cut into half which function as the legs which are meant to 'slide' into each other with an intersecting middle area -- it creates a cross which is the base support of the disc seat.
