At first glance, the Nendo Border Table Collection can be missed if you aren't looking for it; the extremely thin wire lines used in the manufacturing process allows the "tables" to be barely there at all.
Although the Nendo Border Table Collection features a series of wire framed tables, it's hard to call the designs tables because of how much they rebel against the label. It's through this rebellion that the beautiful designs come to life and the Nendo Border Table Collection speaks its truest message to the viewer.
Observed at Omotesando, Japan for the Tokyo Designers Week 2015, the Nendo Border Table Collection features designs that would hold a cup, if that, were they incorporated into a modern living space somewhere.
