Design Statement
We aimed to design a light-transparent, flatpack, easy-to-assemble and easy-to-produce coffee table that can adapt to your changing lives. 

Form
We looked for a form that produces a self-standing structure for the legs and decided to use a curve. The tabletop form followed this curvy shape. We used oak beams to create a contrasting solid structure. We are using varieties of basic shapes to create a timeless and transparent design that serves the beauty of the natural material.

Function
Flow Coffee Tables provide a generous and curvy space which is adaptable to your living spaces. It takes 10 to 15 seconds to assemble without using any kind of screw or glue. It has 2 kinds of tabletop, one is glass and the other is wood for your preference for transparency, lightness and the style of your living spaces. The Small Coffee Table is also great as a bedside table. 

Idea
Idea was to create a coffee table structure system by designing wooden frame systems that can adapt to different sizes with Japandi aesthetics and create a coffee table family with different table-top options with geometric forms. Being a flatpack furniture family and not dictating function, it can be used for different purposes (coffee table, side table, bedside table, display platform)

Differentiation
- Flatpack
- To bring to life one of the fastest-assembled coffee tables in the world. (Mini flow coffee table 10 seconds, medium 13 seconds, large coffee table 30 seconds)
- Customization (Different glass table colour options and wood options)
- No screw no glue (Traditional Japanese jigokumi technics)
- Modern Chabudai
- Light and Translucent
- Easy to produce

Impact
The fact that 3 different coffee tables come out of the same mould, natural and biodegradable materials are preferred in the packaging process, and the resulting products are flatpack.

Social Impact: Good-sustainable design at an affordable price.
