ding3000: join table
continuing their exploration of the ancient japanese game in which three sticks are joined by a square knot – first applied in their ‘join cutlery‘ – german design studio ding3000 has pushed the concept further in the form of ‘join table’. three different cut outs, subtracted from the wooden legs fit into each other, providing structural stability without any tools, by means of the simple enigmatic principle of the slightly transformed devil’s knot. the low side table is made from oak wood and glass and measures W75 x H40 x D75cm. ‘join table’ is being presented at ICFF new york 2011 as part of the ‘design deutschland’ exhibition.

@ad, i think it’s not. lay glass plates on crossed wood is realy nothing new. i like the idea with the puzzle. but your link is also not bad.
i like the puzzle crossed joint, but i wold like to see a better link between the wood and the glass, not just on top. there should be a specific place to place it.
