kristine bjaadal: underfull
‘underfull’ table cloth
norwegian designer kristine bjaadal exhibited ‘underfull’, a tablecloth design at greenhouse during the stockholm furniture fair 2010. at first glance, the tablecloth appears to be a traditional white floral damask but reveals a hidden pattern when wet. this conceptual piece draws on the idea that every negative situations should be turned into a positive experience. everyone at some point is bound to spill a drink, however, instead of feeling embarrassed, he/she can now feel fortunate.
bjaadal believes that this creates stories and can contribute in giving the products sentimental value – important in a society where we seem to have an increasingly superficial relations to the objects we surround ourselves with. through her designs, she tries to make the user sense another human being behind the product, and focuses on giving the user positive experiences over time. video

Nice but some other designer did the exact same thing in 2006 : Nappe Ronde from Madeleine Montaigne.

Yes i’m afraid to say this was designed by a UK designer from Brighton University and was exhibited at New Designers in 2006.
This solution is way better than the other ones.
It’s nothing wrong with being inspired by others, as long as you do it better!
Did you use any kind of color past which it is water sensitive ?I mean that I am wondering how it possible after wet new pattern comes up .
Most beautiful…people and their beautiful minds…WOW
