Postmodern Design

The axe table, brought to us by Dodolivin is a great example of postmodern contemporary design in our world today. The table displays wit and irony as the fragile glass surface is supported by the axe, a universally recognisable tool used for destruction. The table is visible construction, it is made from contemporary materials and it does not hide the truth, we can see what it is and all of its elements. This serves to add meaning to the work because we can enjoy the table just being in its very presence. Design such as this reminds us that there is a freedom to design, we don’t always need to be serious and that there can be a fun side to everyday household items.
