In a time that glorifies social media interaction, real life engagement becomes a rare commodity. A simple moment of connection, fleeting as it may be, strengthens a union that tends to be taken for granted.

Tables are elements that invite a gathering around them, and Engage takes that gathering to the next level. The piece, by design, creates unique dynamics for bonding and perhaps, affinities. This versatile table invites engagement in real life. The stainless-steel bucket embedded in the French oak veneer top, painted in white, serves as a vase or ice bucket and creates interactivity around the table. The base is made of curved grey steel bands gathered in oval mimicking a group encounter, each having their own space, all the while united for the same bigger purpose: connection.

Made with durable material and clean-cut forms, the table was designed, and executed by Lebanese talents that put their distinctive knowhow into work to create a sustainable and modern piece that fits in any mood and environment. Engage is a table that fulfills its function with a twist.

When not used, it becomes a conversation piece, elevating the space through its unique construct. The innovative design of this table is human centered as it brings the attention to its middle, into that ice bucket or vase, allowing the user to become aware of others who are also engaging with the table, be it by helping themselves to some ice or enjoying the floral arrangement.

It fosters communication as it invites users to connect with others, perhaps striking a deeper conversation that begins with an inviting smile and a simple ask “Can you please fill my glass with ice?” And let the connection unravel and create beautiful memories.
