Grado 45°

Coffee Table

Ron Gilad, 2011

What is a table other than a surface with four legs, set at a 90 degree angle? Ron Gilad decided to cut that angle in half, to 45°, and to turn it round. New shapes, new proportions.

The result was a coffee table with a yellow, red, blue profile, and a slender glass top. Square or rectangular. The individual elements can be joined or stacked to create new objects, such as bookcases with storage shelves.

Design

Ron Gilad

Ron Gilad was born in Tel Aviv in 1972. After a few years in New York, he lives and works in Tel Aviv and Milan. Ron Gilad’s hybrid objects combine a practical ingenuity with an aesthetic effect which and are placed on a boundary between the abstract and functional. When he was asked to collaborate with Molteni&C, Ron Gilad initially wondered if he should behave as a designer or just be himself in the most authentic way. He found his answer by creating a connection between his more abstract and artistic ideas and commercial industry mechanisms and converting them into ingenious design products.
