CR Dining Table
Galerie Signé
2024
Every year since the renovation undertaken by Jean-Marc Drut and Patrick Blauwart in 2008, Apartment 50 in Marseille’s Cité Radieuse has invited designers to take over the space and offer a contemporary interpretation of this historic monument.
In 2024, designers Marie & Alexandre, supported by Galerie Signé, were selected to exhibit their work there. The exhibition consists of about a dozen pieces. Among the objects presented, blam contributed to the development and handled the manufacturing of the CR Dining Table. Made entirely of anodized aluminum, the piece utilizes various deformation and shaping techniques to create a unique geometry. To achieve the volume of the tabletop, numerous stamping tests were conducted. The three counter-molds accommodate each table leg, effectively creating a textile-like connection, reminiscent of a draped covering.
Initially prototyped with a clear anodized finish, color research led to the creation of several variations of the CR dining table. Unique pieces are available in pink, black, graphite, and champagne hues.
