Vered Zaykovsky put his thinking cap on when he engineered this upcycled table base using copies of Domus magazine. The added weight of the glass top and the support of the metal bottom plate keep the table upright. Check out the gallery after the jump.
This structure uses 6 magazines arranged in a circular pattern, much like a design we feature awhile back. While that plant stand relied on individual pages folded back and was oriented completely vertically, Vered used a much more dynamic and visually appealing approach.
I have to be honest, this design looks somewhat questionable in its practicality. I haven’t had the opportunity to make this yet (don’t have a piece of suitable glass) but I wonder how stable it would be in the real world?
This is so neat!
Don’t know if it would hold up long term, but it sure looks cool!
“After the jump” is SO annoying, please stop saying it! Thanks ! Lesley
Great recycling, and not bad looking either! Way to go!
@ Lesley
I agree… DOUG STOP SAYING THAT!
@ Matt
Make me.
“Please stop saying it?” Who the hell are you to tell him what words to use? And why on earth do you care?
Anyway, pretty cool.
I would also question its practicality. But it makes good photo opportunities.
Stupid, get ur cheep asses out of ur houses and buy a real F**KING table!
nice idea great design
This is pritty cool
I would like to refer you all to the Mythbusters telephone book/ yellow pages episode. They spend the entire episode trying to rip two yellow pages apart which are only being held together by the friction of the papers, that are over lapping each other one by one. Although, I also question the integrity or even the stability of the design. I think that is the general premise of the construction and if that’s so it should remain fairly sturdy, at least as a magazine holder. I also think it looks really cool and is a nice method in which to recycle.
comment after the jump…
yea.
What the hell is a “jump”?
THAT………IS………AWESOME!
A classmate urged me to check out this page, great post, fascinating read… keep up the nice work!
The design is great. Not sure how good it is in terms of practicality.
