Friction-Fit Furniture Trend

Bundle Side Tableby Ampersandbrand

With sleek Corian tops and a bundle of interwoven wood rods for legs, the Bundle Side Table proves contrasting elements work well together. Designed by Cincinnati, Ohio based Ampersand, the tables require no hardware or adhesives as the pieces are friction-fit together.

The legs appear to sit haphazardly underneath the tabletop, but they remain in place with the help of a circular disc that they fit through. The ends then fit within holes that are drilled into the Corian which creates a really cool visual detail on the table’s top.

Each table is handmade from black or white Corian and locally-sourced black walnut, hard maple, or white oak.

P-11 Chairby Artnau

The main goal was – to create a chair with complex polygonal shapes simple to manufacture without using any fasteners. The chair consists of a white metal frame and plywood triangles that form the seat and the back. The plywood elements are glued together between frame and thus creating a very reliable and simple joint of the two materials.”  – Maxim Scherbakov
