The Gorge Coffee Table by Ramei Keum
Korean designer Ramei Keum has sent us images of his Gorge coffee table.
‘Gorge’ is a coffee table with a shape of a gorge. Designing it, I strived to put it in a form so that elements composing of a table such as a top board and legs may become one element, not individual elements.
The shape of a gorge folded in a V shape itself plays a structural role of supporting the top board of the table, and plays a role of holding/ keeping magazines or books as well as completing an aesthetic form of the table.

another design example of an interesting design idea with no understanding of function.. this is an accident waiting to happen, shins dinged, where to you put it? crumbs, lost watches, glasses sliding into the “gorge”, cleaning issues……

Jeffrey, if this design showed “no understanding of function” then it wouldn’t function as a coffee table at all. Clearly it is capable of functioning as a coffee table.
Tone down your exaggerations.
