although others designed tables based on the same idea, perhaps this designer did not see it. All new/ish ideas have older roots, which shouldn’t stop a designer from realizing an idea.
The color variation of this table is charming, as well as the sizes of all the different pieces that make it up. I particularly like the version with the ring holding it together.

Lovely work and I suppose a nice piece for the cottage or retreat in the woods…BUT…for the crucial small space multi unit highrise apartment.crucial to a smaller footprint for you and I…..This is redundant furniture

they do say that this one is 60% lighter that the origonal. some of this could be due to use of material but id think that it must be hollow to reduce the weight by that much. i like the look of the gaps, but i can see the problems with them. maybe a clear resin could be used to fill them?

It seems rather wasteful to *not* make it hollow.

I was told at the show that the stoolen lite was hollow because the origanal version was to heavy

Gaps allow for insect infestation… plus these tables are too heavy. So they’re kind of interesting but not very usable.

Paul: yes I agree, the gaps are unsightly. Perhaps they could grind up some scrap wood and fill in those spaces? That would make it more “complete”.

The Uhuru site is very attractive but they don’t tell me how much one of their scrap wood tables weighs. If it’s as solid as it appears it could be somewhat heavy, possibly more than many people would want. It looks like the spaces between the individual wood pieces is left open, not a good thing if small objects get lost down there or liquids get spilled on it.

They stole the scrap wood idea from Scrapile! They should be ashamed!
