Concept
Barber & Osgerby have given the multipurpose BUTTON TABLES the same care and attention they gave TOBI-ISHI. Soft, highly calibrated shapes and precise details. The lacquered cylindrical bases are slightly rounded at the bottom to soften their geometry. There are three variants, two with an oval top and one with a round top. All the tops are in marble with high edge that takes on the appearance of a tray. Softness and stiffness, a combination of contrasting materials, minimal details that create imperceptible movements in the development of the shapes, are the recurrent themes of the duo from London, whose language is recognisable even when it comes to service elements.

Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby founded their eponymous studio in 1996 after graduating with Master’s degrees in Architecture from The Royal College of Art in London. From their first studio in Trellick Tower in London, they designed their first piece, the Loop Table, produced by Isokon in 1997. Much of Barber and Osgerby’s early work involved the folding and shaping of sheet material, influenced by the white card that they had used frequently in architectural model making. Plywood and perspex were used in the development of the Pilot Table, 1999, and Stencil Screen, 2000.
