Design Miami/ Basel 2011 - a Glimpse

Design Miami / Basel 2011  is one of the most important design fairs in the world, strictly dedicated to
twentieth and twenty-first century design. It starts in about 3 weeks and will present some of the most interesting new designs. One of them is this remarkable table named Daylight.

HSBC private bank has commissioned dutch designer Hella Jongerius  to create a new piece for the bank's connection collection of limited edition design which first began in 2008. (One of  my favourite designs from which is this Frog table)'

"daylight', a table that explores how daylight changes and influences our perception of colors.
the furniture object consists of a wooden structure with a tabletop covered in multicolored resin blocks that are presented in two layers.
the first is that of semi-transparent colors that reference the changing hues of natural daylight, with the underlying layer made up
of solid color blocks. there is also the contrast of matte and glossy finishes, resulting ina table surface that exhibits how
colors can be versatile, particularly during the day when light is changing continuously."
