Refrigerator Table I
The concept of the Refrigerator table originated at a friend's apartment in Turku, Finland. Both were architects doing their internship there and staying at an apartment rented out to them by their carpenter. They needed a drafting table to work on drawings which essentially was a flat stable surface. The architect under whom they were employed gave them a scrap refrigerator door for the purpose.
The concept of using recycled materials for furniture originated from there. The table consists of a vintage Kelvinator door, its condenser coils and metal procured from various scrap markets of Mumbai. The vintage door was restored to its original colour using duco paint finish with a coat of lacquer. The condenser coils and metal were cleaned and powder coated black.
The above coffee table is a first in a series of different tables using the similar concept.
Dimensions of the table - 136 x 60 cm
