Wooden Cloth by Dackelid

Presented at this year’s Stockholm Furniture Fair among an array of student work from the Swedish school HDK Steneby, Nathaniel Dackelid’s adaptable “Wooden Cloth” table stood out from the crowd. The clever modular construction makes the table adjust to fit any space with incredible ease, not to mention the sleek design and high-quality craftsmanship of locally grown ash and an osmo oil finish. Here you can watch the table’s graceful transition from a limp tapestry of wood to a structured surface. While the form of the piece is very striking, the true beauty of the design lies in Dackelid’s careful consideration of the life of the wood and its impact on the life of the consumer; its unique ability to accommodate the owner’s needs makes it a useful piece of furniture not only within a space, but throughout one’s life.
