swatch table

Swatch TableThe series of three tables consist of a side table, a coffee table and a desk, two of them containing a drawer. The tables have been handcrafted, using both old and new techniques, a theme that surfaces in many other works of Jongerius. For the tabletops a variety of elements, each of them individually cast in coloured polyurethane, are glued together. Each top rests on a contrasting material: a simple walnut construction, which heightens the hue of the colors.

Consistent with her vision on design, which should offer options, possibilities and not all-encompassing truths, Jongerius created a table in which the idea of having options is visualized on many levels. First of all the tabletop consists of a field of many colours, not one. The same notion of many colours and not one is even included in each individual colour. Not one of them is merely what it is. In red one might discover orange, in white a faint blue resides whereas grey reminds of green and black. All colours contain a sense of deviation from a primary colour and the awareness of the mutual existence of other colours. And last but not least the reference to many more possibilities is visible in the outline of the tabletop; as all elements vary in shape many different end results are imaginable.
