By forming a concertina, the table folds out to form a sturdy matrix that is six times it's original volume. The sweeping interior of the tables is informed by the contours of brass instruments, this gives an otherwise two-dimensional material an unexpected and beautifully fluid three-dimensional form.
T I M is a multi-disciplinary design studio established by Patrick Bek and Oliver Fowles. The pair studied together at Buckinghamshire Chilterns University where they began to share a common approach to design.
Since launching their studio in East London in 2006 they have continued to develop work that celebrates archetypal and contemporary forms, human interaction and industrial processes. They have worked on a variety of projects including brand identity, furniture commissions, design for manufacture and community installations.
