Idea: PLAYING WITH GRAVITY The foot of a tightrope walker on the line is a challenge to gravity. Daring, strength, control and balance are what makes it possible Designed by Troels Grum-Schwensen GRUMDESIGN 4 5 The foot of a tightrope walker on the line is a challenge to gravity. Daring, strength, control, balance and elegance are what makes it possible. The GRIP table system is based on the same philosophy. Is it possible to design a table that becomes more stable the more weight you put on it? Can gravity play an active role in the way the construction locks and thus ensure an extremely easy assembly?
Construction: 6 7 The development of GRIP was a challenging process in terms of function, the laws of physics and the material options. The different table lengths and the linking devices allow GRIP to be joined together and extended infinitely. The incredibly strong full-length beam profile provides an impressively long span between two legs. This frees valuable space, eases floor cleaning and most important of all emphasizes the unusually light and airy appearance of the GRIP table.
Innovation: THE GRIP GRIP consists of a diamond-shaped beam profile of extruded aluminium and legs resembling a pair of compasses reversed. The weight of the table top and the beam combined tightens the grip of the leg, locking the entire construction even more. The few basic elements, the simplicity and the innovative function provides an endless range of combinations, enabling you to obtain a unique, individual solution customized to the room. 8 9
Flexibility: 10 11 The simple leg attachment system makes it possible to place the legs at the end of the beam or indented under the table in order to vary the appearance. The possibility to place the legs wherever you want, makes the table more user-friendly.
Materials: MATERIALS TO SUIT EVERYONE GLASS LINOLEUM 12 13 LAMINATE WOOD The GRIP table top comes in a wide range of materials, allowing you to put your table into any setting you want a particular room or interior design context.
GRIP wins Danish Design Award 2012. THE JURY S STATEMENT: The GRIP table is a good example of renewal in Danish furniture design. The innovation is not only reflected in the expression of the table/system but also in the production method. The materials are well chosen, and the detailing is excellent. The GRIP table is a good example of a world-class design product with typical Nordic design characteristics. The table is robust, and as a free-standing piece of furniture it has a sculptural and simple expression. 14 15
