japanese architect jo nagasaka of schemata architecture office ltd. has developed five 'flat tables' for dutch contemporary department store options!.
the project first begin in 2009, whereby nagasaka added colorful epoxy resin to antique tables as a means of leveling out their tops
in a modern way. he then moved on to create the 'flat table peeled' series, continuing to use colored resin but this time to square off
the uneven edges of wooden panels cut from lengths of trees. for this selection of five work surfaces, the architect returns to the
starting points of the first edition, taking old tables and desks and finishing them in green, yellow, turquoise and purple resin.
