Design tables: ideas in the interior

A table is a piece of furniture that can be found in almost every room of the house. And it can be transformed from an ordinary piece into a stunning exclusive interior detail. With the ideas of modern designers, you can create countertops in bizarre shapes and sizes and surprise your friends and family with your originality. But before turning to the services of designers to create a table, you should know the features of materials, shapes and colors that will help bring your idea to life.

Design products have a number of features that should be familiarized with in advance.

• Creative ideas are carried out in the production of tables of all kinds - from dining to writing. Despite the complex design, the main function of the product is never compromised, because a good designer always adheres to this rule.
• It is rare to find mass-produced designer furniture. Usually the maximum number of models is only a few copies. Otherwise, pieces of furniture are considered exclusive at all, because they are created in a single copy. It is possible that if you like someone's original table, it will be difficult for you to find exactly the same model.
• Designer tables are expensive. Often, when creating them, the latest technologies and manual work are used. Often, a product is created from expensive materials. The amount also includes the time spent on the work of the master, and the brand - the name of the manufacturer. It is almost impossible to buy cheap products from famous designers.

• In the event of a breakdown, exclusive models can be difficult to repair. While you can always find or create spare parts for tables bought in a store, it is not always possible for designer items to recreate their original appearance.
• It is often necessary to purchase the necessary equipment for the care of designer products. Some materials are susceptible to chemical compounds and require special cleaning agents, while others require special brushes to clean small parts.

• Sometimes designers make tables according to a ready-made project that you can develop yourself, but some of them fulfill only an order with an approximate description of the customer's wishes, relying on their own ideas.
• The more complex the operating technology, the more expensive the product will be. Some tables have the function of transformers and combine two different designs. Such details make the table not only exclusive, but also multifunctional and require a more complex design from the designer.

Both traditional and unusual materials are used in the manufacture of designer tables. You can find raw materials such as:

• Wood... From solid natural wood, products are created that are both simple in shape and equipped with skillful handmade carvings. The advantages of the material include its strength and relatively long service life. Among the disadvantages is the expensive price. The most popular types of raw materials are oak, maple, beech, alder, ash.
• Glass very popular for making small coffee tables. To make the product truly durable, tempered glass is used, which is dense.The surface of the table can be either matte or transparent, sometimes matte designs and patterns are created on the transparent tabletop.

• Rattan tables - ideal for a terrace. Made using wicker technology, such furniture, although not resistant to high humidity and mechanical stress, looks very elegant. A table like this is easy to carry from room to room. The surface of the wicker table is not even enough to place the dishes on it, so the top of the rattan product is often made of tempered glass.
• Metal - an excellent material for the manufacture of legs of dining and coffee tables, as well as the underframe. The metal parts are highly durable and have a fairly long service life. They are often coated with a special compound for a more presentable look. Despite the fact that metal is a rather difficult material for creating small details, designers manage to make elegant compositions out of it.

• Plastic often used to create both large and small-sized products. Plastic structures are light enough, they are well resistant to moisture and high temperatures. This material is presented in the richest range of shades.
• Tabletops can be made from wood board or even thin plywood. Such materials may resemble natural wood in appearance, but are much cheaper.
• Often when creating tables occurs combination of several textures... It is popular to use a glass tabletop on an iron or wooden base. Sometimes metal is combined with a wooden countertop, on which wood fibers are deliberately emphasized. One can observe colored glass inserts in the main canvas made of wood.
