Life’s excesses fueled by today’s culture of acquiring more and more is a social challenge. Designer Shelly Shelly decided to make a social commentary about it in her Achilles Heel table. Playing with the idea of fragility, the design hides gaps and spaces waiting to be discovered and explored.

looks intriguing, the form creates excellent visual depth through the use of negative space and shadow. I also like the element of “exploration” the crevices have to offer, but someone’s going to have to elaborate to me a little more on how this makes a statement about modern material culture and the acquisition of excess.
agreed. it looks like a hunk of mdf with diagonal cuts taken out? what makes this special?

I actually saw how this was made and it IS just a big chunk of MDF attached to another perfectly good table. How can your piece be a comment on excess when the design is merely additive. Good design should come from within not be added on like cake frosting.
the culture basis eludes me, the form is some what interesting and the nooks and crannies are perfect for parking your dust bunny collection.
some people actually clean every so often
Table is looking very nice !! Fantastic Design !!
Looks nice, but I don't see how this makes any kind of statement, nor do I see any actual use for this object. IMHO, back to the drawing board with you.
