The VTNA Table by Yuta Takahashi Design Studio exemplifies innovative design by transforming styrofoam into a striking work table that balances creativity and strength. Its avant-garde silhouette features a gently rounded tabletop that contrasts with sharply angled legs, creating visual tension. Hand-polished surfaces display subtle irregularities that evoke the look of wood, enhancing the table's tactile character. Constructed from polystyrene foam and coated in fiber-reinforced resin, the table demonstrates the potential of everyday materials to become sources of artistic expression and functional design.
With the VTNA Table, Yuta Takahashi Design Studio turns this unremarkable medium into something quite striking: a work table that not only supports daily tasks, but also symbolizes creativity, willpower, and sculptural intent.
The gently rounded tabletop offers a softer, more fluid experience than the rigid angles typical of most desks. Below, two sharply angled triangles intersect to form each table leg, anchoring the piece with strength and stability.
Upon closer look, the hand-polished tabletop reveals subtle irregularities, reminiscent of wood grain, making you forget that the table is made from styrofoam.
The entire structure is carved out of polystyrene foam using a hot wire. Each element is glued together, then coated with fiber-reinforced (FRP) resin for added strength and durability.
