Minimo
“To design a coffee table which tackles the busy lifestyle of the millennial in attempt to make everyday activities less stressful in order to maintain a stable mental health through the means of material and modularity”.
Why?
The minimo coffee table is a modular product which tackles the stigma of aesthetics surrounding existing coffee tables. Arguably the most important piece of furniture in the house, the minimo coffee table has been created to improve the mental health of the 30+ Millennial through the means of materials and functionality. Cork, a creative material which is yet to still be explored thoroughly in the world of design. The texture and colour provide the user with a sense of warm and relaxing emotions.
The modular design of minimo allows the user to change the coffee table to adapt to almost any situation within its environment. This can be from social events such as having friends over, watching movies with your family or eating dinner after a long day at work.
The triangular stool which sits within the body of minimo can be accessed and manipulated to support the consumer in any scenario. The user can rest their legs while watching tv, place their hot beverage on it while eating and even sit on it while their friends and family are round. The glass surface permits light to travel through allowing for a more positive atmosphere improving the general mood of its environment and allowing the full presence of the cork body to shine through.
