Dancing  Coffee Table and Carpet

Just as if they were dancing together, the carpet and the table are inspired by Mexican Traditional Dances and Dresses.

The goal was to design something inspired by culture and folklore, in this case Mexican’s. So in a place with such a variety of colors and folklore like Mexico, is very difficult to take all and combine it in one piece, so I look at some of our dresses and colors and try to capture the shapes made by dresses in movement in order to design the Dancing Coffee Table and the Dancing Carpet.

The Dancing Coffee Table is a rigid surface with small waves in the exterior, which leaves plenty space in the center for a lamp and small things.

The Dancing Carpet is one big surface with soft waves in different vibrant colors; acting like one big dress in movement on the floor.

The Dancing Coffee Table and Carpet have an unique design and are still in the project phase, if anyone is interested in helping Joel Escalona to get his project in stores contact him. To be honest i can’t wait to see it in stores and be able to buy it.
