The X GROUP is a variable product family with a focus on a reduced table system. In combination with different lights, the application works in almost all situations in both private and commercial use. In addition to the dining table in the format 100x100cm, numerous other variants, such as coffee tables or desks, are anchored in the concept. Through an uncomplicated assembly with three individual elements, the room situation can be easily transformed. Thus, without the use of tools, a ready-to-use product is created within 30 seconds, held together by a centrally positioned knurled screw. In addition, luminaires can be repositioned as required to create the perfect lighting for any application. The optical element of the pierced table legs is intended to break up the technical construct and make it appear to float. Heavy materials, such as steel and glass, contrast with a minimized design and reduction to basic geome- tric shapes.
The Project X GROUP was developed under the supervision of Prof. Matthias Rexforth at the FH Aachen in the sixth semester in 2022 within the course “living in a box - archetypus”. It focusses on the interfield furniture design and object design with an approach to modern art and installation.
