While Detroit has been suffering through some difficulties as of late, its history of inventive progress is not lost on designer David Tsai, who cites the city and its design output as the inspiration for his Cuda Table.
Merging home decor with the automobile industry, the Cuda Table - christened after the mid-60′s Plymouth Barracuda – gleans inspiration from the instantly recognizable muscle cars of the period, and reinterprets them to seamlessly meld into the constraints of a domestic environment. A close look at the table will reveal its sleek, single bodied design; reaching up and around itself, the Cuda Table is formed from a single plane of powder coated steel which bends to mimic the strength in form that emerged from the Detroit auto industry in the second half of the twentieth century. The curve, mirroring the continuous line found wrapping around a back windshield, adds a playful anthropomorphic quality to the sophisticated ode to America’s once great Motor City.
