PROJECT BRIEF
Design and build a functioning furniture piece that fits into Design Within Reach’s product catalog. Students were guided by collaborator Sean Yoo, a best selling designer for DWR.

OBJECTIVES
simplicity - avoid complex mechanisms
stability - while minimizing number of legs
originality - new and unique to DWR

MEET YOUR LAYOUT
Moon features two swing out table tops for extended surface area. Rather than hiding its parts, the glass surface is intended to reveal its functionality as a point of interest, thus encouraging its use. Access the tables temporarily or leave them open to meet your layout, you decide!
