Design Love: Yeh Table for MENU

6:22 PM Posted by Unknown

On the very top of my wish list you will see the Yeh Wall Table for Menu by Kenyon Yeh. This Taiwanese designer was also responsible for designing the Pushpin stool for Esaila! :) I know what you might think: how could this two-legged table as seen below possibly be stable? Well, I'll let Kenyon explain this himself:

"The inspiration came from a cheerleader practice I passed by one day on my way to work. Two students were rehearsing strength and balance. The male student was in sitting position up against a wall (but without a chair) and the female student was standing on his thighs. The table mimics the position of the male student, back resting on the wall and two legs angled away from the wall for stability.”

The circular tabletop folds at just the right angle so the table won't topple over. I love its simplicity and wondrous, truly original design :)
