N-7 is another beautifully built table that takes on the current trend of what I call origami or faceted design. Where did this trend start? I seem to recall a modern building in Hong Kong built about twenty years ago that sort of kicked off this trend in my mind. Since then, I’ve seen so much faceted design that ranges from the Cadillac to cell phones. I’m waiting for toilet paper. Now that would be something. Making something that is normally so round and soft into something more angular and asymmetrical. For today, I’ll just appreciate this table by Casamania. It has an Escher-like quality in that you just can’t quite get a handle on it visually. It feels like it could slip away on you.
