Perseus Side Table Russell Bamber

The Perseus side table is shaped from 3 mm thick steel plates to increase strength and is part of a metal furniture collection designed and produced by 06D Atelier, handcrafted in Italy, showcased during the 2018 editions of the Milan Design Week, Paris Design Week and the London Design Festival. Russell Bamber intervention consists in using his established technique of lamination to give an unexpected colour injection to the matt black version of the geometric tables.

A couple of tables takes their name from a mythological couple, the hero Perseus who - according to a version of the myth - killed the Gorgon Medusa, who had the power to turn men into stone with her gaze. The hero defeated her and cut off her head from where sprung the winged horse Pegasus, later used even by Zeus to transport his proverbial lightning bolts. Today, no more heads of snake-haired monsters, nor lightning to sail the sky, but elegant tables to accompany everyday life, which live on their own; living perfectly alone, but are best paired.
