Jigsaw Table
2A Design Studio Project
Instructed by Adrian Blackwell
Design Collaboration w. Hagop Terzian, Sissi Li & Justin Ng
completed in 2015, Cambridge, Ontario
This table set was designed and built over the course of a weekend. As
part of a design studio focused housing, the instructions of the project
were to create some kind intervention in our own homes. The impetus
for creating a table set was the observation that nobody in my house ate
together in the same room. We came up with the idea of a fragmented
table that by its design implied the need to be unified. Each puzzle piece
has a deatchable third leg which can be attached to stand on its own, eand
each has a different colour and corresponding chair to give each their
own unique personality. The primary colour scheme gives the table set a
youthful, playful character. The chairs were donated by local stores and
painted to match the colour scheme of their table piece.
