‘PLET’ low table

dutch designer reinier de jong has created a low table titled ‘PLET’ made entirely of waste materials. eighty different strips of reclaimed perspex (PMMA or polymethyl methacrylate) make up the translucent top which appears to be hovering above the solid oak wood base. the oak wood comes from a former dining table top. traces of its previous life are visible in the plywood connection strip in the wood.

‘PLET’ refers to the japanese interiors through its modest size and minimalist aesthetic. the perspex strips which make up the top have variant thicknesses, colours and transparencies and, thus, make each low table different. depending on the location and lighting in which the ‘PLET’ is kept, this changes the appearance of the furniture design.
