Swinging Table…
When people think of seating or spaces for children to socialise with friends, little thought is given to how this is arranged within the environment. Often it is arranged ‘in-line’ with little thought given to the social interactions that will take place.
The Swinging Table is ideal for older children, aged 6 upwards. It houses many different surprise elements, the closed hollow body of the Swinging Table is suspended on chains. It invites one to sit down without immediately revealing its ‘secret’. Only after sitting down, one recognises a peculiar swinging of the table. One can feel the movement of the water inside the table which reacts in resonance to one’s own movement. It provides a very interesting meeting and social gathering point.
