quentin de coster: animal table

'animal table', maple wood with blue paint

belgian industrial designer quentin de coster developed 'animal', a table design
created for children. he initiated the project by collaborating with a team of five year olds
to figure out what type of furniture they could best relate to. all drawings and sketches done
by the children were interpreted and finalized into this dog-shaped table.

the side drawer gives children convenient storage space for their drawing utensils while
also playfully doubling as the head of the dog.
