We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer Adeodaat Erik Rozema about their original and creative Table design work. Adeodaat Erik Rozema is an award-winning industrial designer, that makes our world a better place with their original table works.
Adeodaat Erik Rozema ("AER") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work Sexy Table. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
AER : The main principle is that I could design a nice piece of furniture to which I could link the maiden name of my deceased mother. The idea was to design a table. The inspiration of the design comes from the A of the Adeo design logo. The A had to become the carrier of the tabletop.
AER : The main focus was to bring the A of the Adeo design logo back to a sexy shape and carrier of the tabletop. I wanted you to not be able to sit at the head of the table so that the complete design of the table with the sexy legs will always remain visible from whatever angle you look at the table.
AER : The future plans for this design and the entire collection of this series are to bring them to the international furniture market. Because I believe 100% that the entire table collection can be added value and can be combined with other special furniture brands.
AER : free quickly and could continue to create a real collection of tables with the same shape
AER : After the death of my mother in 2015, I decided to continue her maiden name in a design that she would be proud of. It inspired me, therefore, to design a special table with great love for the profession, and to have it realized and used for the international furniture market.
AER : In the meantime prototypes have been made and these have yet to be fine-tuned. Would like to market it under an own label. But possibly also be open to bring it to another brand.
AER : Because I have the love for the profession and would like to have a nice piece of furniture in the market that makes everyone happy.
AER : No not really. I did show my design to Sander Stout of the company "Stout lighting" and asked what he thought about it because I would like to have a "Stout" lamp above the table for photography.
AER : private and project market
AER : The two end faces. You can not sit at the ends so that the complete design stays in sight.
AER : I wanted to continue the maiden name of my deceased mother in a design. Ultimately, the design was further developed into a complete table collection. And this dining table bears the name of my oldest daughter Kim.
AER : In the beginning with pencil and paper to make rough sketches then processed in 3D in SketshUp.
AER : The unique aspect is the end faces of the table. The sexy legs that are out of 1 piece and fall slightly under the table. The legs carry an "A" of the Adeo design logo, and carry the table top which are rounded on the long side.
AER : Did not work together with anyone for this design. In order to realize the table, I did speak with the technical staff of furniture factory "Artisan" to see if it was technically possible to manufacture all the designs of the entire collection in wood.
AER : The role of this technical design was the legs that had to guard the shape and appearance from one piece. The highest difficulty was in the design of the coffee table. This is because the legs are not interrupted, but the coffee table is made out of one piece.
AER : I have not done any specific research for this.
AER : The challenge was to design a table that would get totally stubborn shape in contrast to other dining tables.
AER : I received an invitation via email to hand in a unique interior design at an international design competition such as A 'Design Award and Competition.
AER : Actually, I still learn every day. And with this design I learned to view the table in many angles so that it became clear how the overall appearance would be.
AER : Yes, you could have asked why I would have chosen a specific material. The answer is that I chose wood because I think wood is a nice pruduct and a natural product.
