Block — a series of modular coffee tables inspired by the clear geometry and structural integrity of Constructivist architecture. Each table is built on a constructor principle: a metal frame serves as a universal base into which the tabletop and side panels are inserted. The variability is achieved through a combination of colors, textures, and material transparency. The panel design references glass blocks and ribbon windows. The user is not simply selecting a finished object; they are assembling a piece to fit their interior, mood, and personal style. Any element can be replaced without changing the entire table, allowing it to evolve alongside the interior design.
Block is a system, not a single item. One frame can look different depending on the selected countertop and panels. Constructivism dictates three principles: clear geometry, honest construction, and functionality. The frame remains visible and acts as an architectural «frame, ” while the panels and countertop serve as the „façade.“
The series is based on the versatility of a single table design:→ frame color (RAL palette);
→ tabletop color and texture (HPL);
→ panel color, tint, and texture (smooth acrylic or etched acrylic—“grid”/“glass block»).
Possible desk assembly combinations
Variations of additional inserts in the base of a table that create storage spaces
Use Cases:
→ Interior Design. The side table functions both as a functional object and as a color accent.→ Mood Transformation. The user can swap the panels for a different color or texture, instantly changing the look of the table without needing to purchase a new one.
→ Interior Redesign. During a move or renovation, the side table easily adapts to a new color palette.
→ Assembly. The table ships in a disassembled state and can be put together by the user in minutes, making the assembly process itself part of the experience.
Hardware and Ready-Made Components:
(Preliminary List)→ Frame Fasteners: Hex-head bolts (M6/M8) and anchor nuts or threaded bushings for disassembled assembly.
→ Tabletop Mounting: Cabinet corners or Z-plates. In HPL, threads for metric screws can be cut since the material is dense.
→ Panel Fastening: Grooves in the frame plus clamping strips, or screws with decorative washers and nylon sleeves. These dampen vibration and protect acrylic from cracking.
→ Levelers: Adjustable vinyl or polymer feet for leveling on an uneven floor. They protect the floor from scratches.
→ Dampening Pads: EPDM or silicone between the steel and acrylic.
→ Installation Wrench: Hex key included.
→ Packaging: Corrugated cardboard, protective film for acrylic.
Production Technology Description
01. Frame. Laser cutting of sheet metal and profiles, bending on a press brake, welding (MIG/TIG), or assembly using threaded connectors. This is followed by surface cleaning, degreasing, powder coating in the specified RAL color, and curing in an oven. 02. Tabletop. Cutting the HPL slab on a CNC router, edge finishing (chamfer or rounding), and edge sanding. Drilling and routing of fastening holes. 03. Panels. Laser or CNC routing of acrylic, and edge polishing. For textured panels, laser engraving of a «grille» or «glass block» pattern. 04. Quality Control. Inspection of geometry, color, seams, and absence of chips. 05. Assembly and Packaging. Trial assembly of a sample from the batch, fitting with hardware, and packaging in flat cartons.
