For Use, a group born of the partnership between some young Croatian industrial designers and an Austrian graphic designer, got all bent out of creative shape and designed the Twist table for Moroso.
Parallel to their production of items in plastic, the Italian furniture company is also doing research on and using natural materials, including the wood that’s become a key feature of the Moroso range on display at this year’s Milan furniture fair, where our Twist table was also on show.
A minimalist table whose legs are derived from a rectangular shape that is rotated through 90° in relation to the top to create the sensation that the table has been turned in relation to its vertical axis. The top is a simple square and its surface develops vertically, joined to the legs in a single part, as if it were a single sculpted block. The overall shape is that of a cube and, looking at the table laterally, there’s almost the impression of seeing smaller cubes in the empty space, offset 90° in relation to the floor surface. Both the frame and top are in MDF with a white lacquer finish.
The group was formed out of the collaboration of young Croats Jelenko Hercog, Sven Jonke, Christoph Katzler, Nikola Radeljković and Toni Uroda – from the School of Design at the Faculty of Architecture in Zagreb – with the Austrian Christoph Katzler, a graduate of the University of Applied Arts in Vienna.
The group has been producing design under the name For Use since 1998, developing products together with MDF Italia, Cappellini, Interlübke, Magis, Zanotta and others.
