Architecten de vylder vinck taillieu designed the flagship store of the Antwerp lingerie brand la fille d’O, and also created this blue table for it. The challenge was to come up with a structure in which the shortest vertical slab supports the longest horizontal slab. They investigated shapes that looked like tables, racks, chaises longues, lamps… This is how the KAMER RENEE series first came about – a set of drawings without context. In order to refine the concept and to determine the correct dimensions, the pieces were then produced, installed in a Parisian apartment to see if they ‘worked’, and adjusted if necessary.
