BRIEF / The first project commissioned for the Lululemon lab, a high profile retail / design space in Vancouver:

Design and build a dining table for 8 people that doubles as retail display.

ABOUT / Challenged with a total budget of $150 and a 4 day time line, Greg and I chose building materials and found objects as our starting point.

Features include storage, hotplates and a raised serving platform. The table will be used for a dinner series hosted by the lab in the Spring of 2012.

Construction and fabrication executed by Hannes Lundin, Kim Sõderbergh, Lone Ohlin and Magnus Dahlén under the supervision of Leif Burman.
