High-tech tables

The popular high-tech trend is characterized by prudence, functionality and comfort. It is a modern, prestigious interior, complicated by high technology. An ordinary wooden table with four legs cannot be seen in the design of this style. Most often, the countertop is made of glass or durable plastic and rests on a laconic and at the same time intricate base.

The style appeared in the 70s of the last century. In contrast to the classics, fueled by the best manifestations of the past, high-tech is associated with the future, it is technological, pragmatic, prefers laconic forms, strict geometry in decoration and furniture.

In the interior, decor is not actually used, so the furniture should not only be functional, but also contain elements of decoration. Often, a noble black color, glass and shiny metal are used to create a dining group.

Distinctive features of the style:

• dashing lines and graphic forms;
• refusal of decor;
• an abundance of household appliances;
• the use of psychologically significant colors - red, white, black, silver;
• furniture material - glass, metal, plastic, while wood is used minimally;
• chrome pipes and engineering structures are not hidden, but played out in the interior;
• great importance is given to the practicality of the environment, each item should fulfill its functions to the maximum, if it is a table, then a transformer, sliding or folding.

Hi-tech blends well with other modern styles. Most of all, loft and minimalism are close to it.

Tables have different purposes - dining, kitchen, coffee, writing, computer, magazine, they are easy to distinguish by their appearance.

A table for the kitchen or dining room is responsible for home comfort and hospitality. In high-tech style, it should be unusual, stylish, comfortable and practical. Rectangular or oval tabletops are laid out with significant expansion, the mechanisms work clearly and harmoniously. It will take a few seconds to convert the table from small to large. Take a look at the examples of expertly designed dining groups.

Desks are distinguished by the presence of one or two pedestals, but in terms of high-tech style, their appearance is far from the traditional designs we are accustomed to.

• The white tabletop floats in the air with a fulcrum on one side only. The decorative contour line, imitating wood, presents an intricate geometric shape. The appearance of the chair matches the table.

• A beautiful respectable table with great potential for storing equipment, documents, writing utensils. The model is endowed with an amazing finish imitating expensive varieties of tropical wood, including elements of metal and modern durable plastic.

It is common to see dressing tables in the style of majestic classicism, pompous baroque or cozy Provence. But, it turns out that laconic cold beauty and practicality can keep company with modern purposeful ladies:

• a comfortable set in ivory color with a pouf, a curbstone and a sloping table top;

• roomy dressing table with reflective black surfaces.

The high-tech interior is executed in monochrome colors, but accent spots are not excluded, the role of which is often given to the table. For example, surrounded by numerous shades of gray, the scarlet countertop and abstraction on the wall flare up.

As for the material, the furniture is made with a minimal addition of wood. The choice of style leads away from natural natural colors in favor of a synthetic monochromatic palette of plastic, cold shades of glass and a metallic sheen in interior elements.

Style appreciates reflective glass surfaces. In addition to transparency and gloss, matte and colored materials are used. Worktops with such a coating look discreet and elegant, but they require some maintenance, as even water stains remain on them.

The modern urban style, focused on the interiors of the future, is represented by an unusual design of tables with amazing geometric proportions. You can appreciate their beauty by looking at examples of works of authorship:

• a pool table;

• floating surfaces;

• computer desk;

• backlit model;

• coffee table.

Not everyone likes a technological interior with a cold shine. Progressive, energetic and self-confident people can truly appreciate its comfort, ergonomics, functionality and laconic forms.
