Ndebele Table - Melchior Van Dansik - elegant, astonishingly strong and stable
Van Dansik concentrated on one essential detail: the very spot where the three rods meet. By extruding the form and joining the legs by winding metal wire around them, a new stunningly clever and functional design is created. As van Dansik saw this elegant long ringed ‘neck’ emerge in the silhouette of his table, it reminded him immediaty of the adorned necks of the Ndebele women of South Africa. The iconic Ndebele table is so light, one can pick it up by the neck and carry it around in one hand. Still it is surprisingly strong and capable of supporting objects up to 5 kilo. It is likely to lead a nomadic existence in a home, it will go wherever one needs to sit by, or to show an object on it.
