German designer Thomas Schnur is pleased to announce that he will be exhibiting three products at the 2012 Salone Satellite in Milan, including the noteworthy "Rubber Table."
The drain or plunger is an item, which, though it receives little attention, is actually extremely useful. Rubber Table adopts its idiosyncratic aesthetic and transfers it into a new environment. The rubber plunger has become a table leg—setting in motion a new way of looking at this ambivalent object. Manufactured with dyed foam rubber the color and the surface feel of the original object are preserved.
I imagine that the object has five legs for stability's sake, though this trait somehow underscores its semblance to a Martian quintaped: I wouldn't be surprised to get home late one night to discover my pet "Rubber Table" puttering around my living room with Roomba-like tenacity.
