Qui Side Table: Born from Material Research
The Qui side table was designed by Marc Th. van der Voorn and originated from research into the properties of thin plywood. by experimenting by the material, it became clear how it behaves: flexible in one direction and strong in the other.
These characteristics form the basis of the design. by using by material in different directions, a lightweight structure is created that is still sturdy enough for everyday use. The tabletop brings all the components together and provides stability, while the shape beneath the tabletop creates storage space.
Stylish side table with open storage
Underneath the tabletop, you’ll find an open space that’s ready to use right away. It’s perfect for a stack of magazines, a book, a rolled-up throw, or other items you like to keep within easy reach. You can put something down and grab it just as easily. This side table makes it easy to quickly store items without hiding them out of sight.
by of thin plywood, the side table has a slight flexibility and can give a little. This is a natural characteristic of the material and an intentional part of the design. If you place something in the space underneath the tabletop, the table will become heavier and more stable. That’s how you can give the table a little extra support!
