Flaqué Table

Flaqué Table. Designed by Luis Porem.

Minimalism and ingenuity seem to be the two protagonists for the design scheme of the Flaqué Table. Just like the Levitation Desk or the M Table, the Flaqué Table too obliterates consecrated design principles by catalyzing new-fangled ideas and approaches. The fact that the table has three incongruous legs makes it conspicuously distinguishable and validates the designer’s innate understanding towards progressive design. [via Yanko Design]

The Flaqué Table indubitably epitomizes originality and the credit for this goes to designer Luis Porem. Emphasis on structure is imperative and Porem is aware of this since functionality hasn’t been sacrificed in the name of form. Hence it can complement any space, be it a gentrified apartment or commercial office environment. The three table legs are made from metal, which contrasts impeccably with the elegant wooden dark surface. According to Porem, his friend Maria Flaqué has inspired this quixotic table and hence the name. Things get further interesting courtesy of the little X on the table top that is meant to mark the final and definitive position of the last leg of the Flaqué Table.

Porem explains, “the elegant wooden dark surface isn’t capable of hiding the vital presence of the pillar for the good stability of the table, showing in the top of the wood an X…. as in a treasure map, in unknown lands, the X marks the spot.”

The Flaqué Table brings the designers creative impulse to the vanguard, as the table is part fantasy, part functional, and part fun. The asymmetrical pattern of the legs juxtaposes flawlessly with the structured fluidity of the wooden top and the little “x” makes its quirky without being outrageous. It’s obvious that Porem marries his wit with his love of good design when it comes to the table’s idiosyncratic structure.
