Polysemy – Silver Multifunctional Table
by So Koizumi · Tokyo, Japan

“Polysemy” is an object that can serve various functions such as a bookshelf, side table, and display shelf by changing its orientation from a single shape.

“Polysemy” means “having multiple meanings”. Typically, objects have a single function, such as a chair being just a chair or a table being just a table. However, by not limiting its function, “Polysemy” can be used in various ways to suit different spaces and situations.
In contrast to the usual one-sided relationship between designers and users, where the designer dictates function and the user receives it, ‘Polysemy’ strives to engage the user’s imagination actively. By providing Rules and margins, it invites users to perceive and interact with the object creatively. This unique approach results in a richer and more thoughtful surrounding space.

This piece has a minimalist construction with only three metal plates bolted together.
