The Salone del Mobile proved a great moment to showcase the first example of Mountain and Water, the glass table designed by the Chinese duo Oscar Ko and Yunduan Gu for Dal Pian Design. The projects was assigned the second award in the Glass House Collection ’13 design award, which collected 416 different design projects altogether (see Glass House Collection ’13 – Winner).
The project was first put on display at the Fuori Salone edition 2014, along with other designs for the same brand that were met with great interest by the visitors.
“Mountain and Water” is a coffee table made of wood and glass. The image of “mountain” is created by custom-shaped wood panels. The image of “water” is created by a flat frosted glass.
Wood and glass are connected by drilling holes on the glass and bolted together. The flat glass is to be frosted to achieve a translucent effect.
The inspiration of the design comes from nature — the reflection of mountain in the water. Our design intends to give people a sensual combination of tranquility and motion. The wood panels which mimics the mountain has a dynamic gesture while the flat glass reflects peace and calmness.
Mountain and Water is made of steel, wood and glass.
