Diagonal
Diagonal is a desk designed around a single geometric idea, the diagonal line that joins two opposite corners. The tabletop is made of plywood with walnut veneer, and the veneer pattern follows the same diagonal guide. The two stands are made of steel with a powder coated finish, and both stands are placed along the same line. The main structural skeleton is hidden inside the tabletop and carries the load through three short columns to the stands. A bevelled edge and a gap between top and stands make the surface appear to float.
Diagonal Table by Paradox Studio was selected as an outstanding representation of industrial design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Diagonal Table earned the Silver A' Design Award in Furniture Design in 2021. The A' Furniture Design Award is a juried, academic and highly prestigious design competition which rewards superior design of chairs, tables, sofas, beds, cabinets, shelves, desks, wardrobes and more.
