COURONNE
Johan Lindau 2015
Sometimes you simply have to make a product
immediately, for one reason or another.
In this case, we had already sold a table with
a function that was exactly what the customer
wanted. The table didn’t exist – but only I knew
that.
What I did next was to work entirely on the
basis of the function, removing everything that
often makes the design unique – the time to
think and rethink, to question everything from
the construction, material choice, size and
appearance... because there was no time for
all that.
It was simply a case of creating a small table –
a table for a coffee cup and a plate, stable so
that the coffee or drink wouldn’t spill; a table
that would work as a stool or footstool and as a
table for a sofa or armchair, easy to place and
mobile.
Quite simply an independent, chameleon-like
item of furniture which wouldn’t intrude on the
identities of other products. This was the result
– as small a table as possible with a little
Couronne ring as a decoration.
