Crasset's True Talent as a Designer

Designed by French designer Matali Crasset, "Double Life" at first glance appears to be just a small table with handles. However, upon closer inspection, one can see five aluminum trays attached to the frame with magnets, forming the shape of a side table.

The trays function as serving platters for home parties or guests, and when not in use, they serve as side panels to conceal the contents of the shelves. It's a truly unique structure.

This aligns with Crasset's concept for co-developing furniture with Danese: "Products of form that create shape by integrating multiple functions." It is a highly aesthetic table, characteristic of Italian interiors. It can also be seen as a solution for modern living spaces that demand efficient use of limited space.

Coloring to Match Your Living Space

Pay attention to the coloring as well. The trays come in gray, black, brown, and red. It would be enjoyable to combine them to match the color of the side table's body. The vibrant hues, in particular, are characteristic of Crasset, who emphasizes the effect of color in daily life. Both the form and color showcase the designer's distinct personality.
