Hollis

Hollis is a kinetic side table. The table surface moves freely within a 130 cm (51 Inch) diameter on two pivoting arms that join it to the stem. The height of the table surface is positioned to easily slide over a seated persons lap and stow conveniently underneath a desk or table. The kinetic tabletop follows the motions of a user as they interact with the space around them – turning around to show a colleague something on a lap top screen or shifting to one side to face a new direction. The steel base is covered with a mat of Nike Grind, a scratch resistant rubber-flooring made from recycled sneakers. This textured surface invites the user to move in on the table and place their feet on the base while they work on the table surface. The stem and pivoting mechanism are constructed with steel, Nylon gliders and hardware. The table surface is made with laminated aluminum over a lightweight wooden core, and the edge of the table is finished with a rubber bumper that protects it and the items around it as it moves. Envisioned as a flexible tool for contemporary needs, Hollis could be placed at a bedside, next to a desk, adjacent a kitchen table, or anywhere where an extra surface may be needed.
