Spider by Roche Bobois
November 3, 2009
Spider is the new furniture line from French furnishings company Roche Bobois. The collection, with minimalist and essential lines, springs from the creativity of designer Daniel Rode, and comprises of cupboard, a dining table and a coffee table.
The entire collection is crafted from DuPont Corian in Glacier White. I totally and unashamedly love Corian, I would be pleased as punch to have this is my home!
The strong personality resonating from the collection's feature decor - intersecting, web-like lines throughout the individual volumes - is replicated in each and every surface, including the table legs and sides of the cupboard. The versatility of Corian allowed Daniel Rode to imprint a poetic and realist approach into the overall design. It was selected for its pleasing tactility and silk-like touch, its high resistance and superior hygienic performance.
The tables and their structures, made entirely in Corian, contain no screws or metallic parts of any kind are apparently seamless in nature. The outside of the cupboard doors have been engraved with the same banded pattern, while the interior surface has been "hollowed out" to allow the soft illumination to filter through.
