Dendrone is a table designed by Javier Olmeda in which complex geometries and digital fabrication technologies marry with simple materials to form a unique conversation piece. The name derives from its conception: dendrites found in nerve cells are captured trying to reach out and connect. Lightness and fluidity are achieved through an organic shape which resembles neural receptors, even thougn it is built with traditionally industrial materials (steel and glass).
Dendrone has been granted the noteable A’ Design Award in Furniture, Decorative Items and Homeware Design Category selected as one of the winners by the esteemed jury members of the A’ Design Awards & Competitions among a great number of submissions.
