Draagkracht round coffee table in solid oak, designed by Studio à la part, with a 40 cm diameter round top, 40 cm depth and 35 cm height, produced in the Netherlands from 2020, in as-new condition.
Description from the seller
Side Table "Carrying Capacity"
The side table is designed from a single simple idea: no one has to stand alone.
The four separate legs together support a single round top. Each leg has its own place, shape and wood grain, but only when the parts come together does a sturdy and usable whole emerge. In this way the design symbolizes what people can achieve when they are given space, guidance and the confidence to participate.
The round form has no beginning, no end, and no main position. Everyone takes an equal place within the same circle. The solid oak embodies growth and resilience: a natural material that needs time to become strong, and whose every grain tells its own story.
Carrying Capacity was designed by Studio à la part and, under professional supervision, handcrafted by makers who are building their place within society and on the labor market. The furniture is not made out of pity, but out of talent, collaboration and the belief that good craftsmanship can arise when people are given a fair chance.
The net proceeds from this auction will be used for new material. Thus every sold stool literally provides carrying capacity to a future project and gives a new maker the opportunity to gain experience, confidence and craftsmanship.
