‘pallet table’

‘pallet table’ by dutch concept designer wendy plomp is made from compressed sawdust. here the production method lends the material relief and depth; qualities that make it possible to design tabletops with pressed-in, round recesses for plates, or square ones for books. in using saw dust, this project brings new life to an old waste product.

another project initiated by plomp is ‘message in a box’, a concept piece that reevaluates the application of cheap, industrial cardboard. known for being a commoditized waste product of commercial packaging, ‘message in a box’ encourages spontaneous new applications for this material such as the cardboard carpets shown above. see more of the project here.

wendy plomp sees her work as illustrations come to life, much like a 3D collage. in some ways, she sees herself as a storyteller, inspired by the irony and drama of daily life, bringing together the incompatible with the compatible which creates something fresh and unexpected. with a keen eye for observing how people live, she often draws her influences from the way people define their personal and private lives.
