Retro Coffee Table

Designed by Sophie Croft of Riverside Girls High School

Sophie identified the increasing trend towards smaller living spaces in high-rise inner city apartments. She designed a multifunctional nad uniquely shaped coffee table with matching stools. The table features a variety of retro materials such as vinyl, laminate and aluminum. The materials and curved lines of design work together to form a highly functional and stylish item of furniture. The stools slide under the glass top when not in use, optimising the space in a small living area while at the same time creating a visually attractive retro-styled red and white table set.

Sophie's coffee table was selected for display in the Design and Technology display at the Powerhouse Museum. Photo above is courtesy of Powerhouse Museum.
