The seagrass table may be one of the first products I’ve featured that uses laser-cut steel as a manufacturing process. I’m still a bit of the fence on the use of laser cut steel simply because every time I see it used, the designer makes a figurative profile as the whole design. This gets a bit boring. Still, I’m drawn to this table by DYAD. I think the table goes one step further by letting the glass illuminate the blades of grass in a more natural, less neon sign way. Also, the figural gesture is more subdued. At least it’s not a dolphin or some spirals like you might see at a crafts fair.
