KLOVER Picnic Table
Hangout at the KLOVER Picnic Table with its unique, iconographic metal table shape. Whether you are looking for a group hangout or alone moment, the table serves it all. Settle in with a group of friends around this distinctive picnic table that offers more table area as the KLOVER’s petals wrap around each individual person with a radiating pattern that will leave everyone engaged. If turning on the side, each petal can be used separately, providing privacy when sharing with strangers. Its leg free design offers maximum flexibility and accessibility in any given context.
After the global pandemic in 2020, more attentions are paid to the outdoor space and urban revitalization. By using organic and sculptural forms and minimizing the visual weight in each design I am interested in alleviating mental pressure, creating an inviting and friendly urban landscape for gathering and outdoor pleasure. Breaking the conventional rigidity, bulkiness, and banality in outdoor public furniture, my collection introduces softness, playfulness, and sensuality that creates a visual fluidity yet being functional and ergonomic.
