Prima Ballerina Table from Reddish

We love turned leg tables especially on more modern furniture, which explains the appeal of this table from Israeli design studio Reddish. It turns out though, that the secret to this table's sinuous shape comes from an interesting twist...

The Prima Donna table owes its shapely leg not to turned wood, but instead to coiled thread wrapped around the support pole. This innovative technique allows for the creation of a variety of shapes in virtually any color. We love the combination of the sleek lines of the aluminum tabletop with the soft curves of the table leg. No price or retail information on this piece which is a shame; it seems we'll have to continue to admire from afar...

They're beautiful, but I'm afraid my cat, Miss Pretty, would think they were some new, fancy scratching posts! :)

Hmmm - Two pre-cut discs of wood, a length of plumbing pipe and a pair of end-flanges, a can or two of glossy lacquer spraypaint, and a spool of brightly colored wire...

...Yes, it's definitely DIY-able.

In Miss Pretty's defense, it reminds me a bit of a fancy scratching post, too.

I like the sinuous shapes, but I'd prefer if the leg were turned wood instead.

PS, I really can't stand the new video-ing ads, they keep shifting the page around in a seriously annoying way.

Ouch!

They surely got the idea while filling up a bobbin on a sewing machine.
