Porcupine Children Desk by Hella Jongerius for Vitra
Posted in Tables Furniture on October 20th, 2011 by admin
As an ideal companion to the Panton Chair, the Porcupine Children Desk by Hella Jongerius for Vitra provides children with a perfect place to play or draw. The small wooden table contrasts appealingly with the plastic chairs and also asserts a distinctive identity with its asymmetrical shape.
The table surface shows a printed motif resembling a charm bracelet, with animal shapes and other symbols attached to a chain link circle. Some of the links in the chain are bored through the tabletop, so that coloured markers supplied with the desk can be stored in the holes. Add a little imagination, and the table resembles a porcupine- which is what inspired the name.
