Give the Marbelous a new audience
During my internship at Ontwerpduo the most challenging assignment I got my hands on was this one. The well received graduation project of one of the founders "Marbelous" was my starting point. Design a simplified model of the Marbelous marble table was the assignment.
I learned to design with the method form follows function. When you get stuck at the drawing board, go to the workspace. It puts things in perspective. You see what works and what doesn't by trial and error.
