Description

The Surface Table by Studio NAWA is a design experiment that seamlessly translates digital objects into physical space, challenging the boundary between virtual precision and material imperfection. In digital simulation, all things exist as points, lines, and infinitely thin surfaces—folded, bent, and stretched to manifest form. With its subtly deformed, mirror-polished stainless steel surface, the Surface Table embodies this digital-to-physical transformation, where an idealized, tolerance-free digital model meets the unpredictable reality of material space.

Rooted in Baroque calculus, where time and space were conceived as smooth and continuous, the Surface Table draws parallels between historical mathematical abstraction and contemporary digital modeling. Stainless steel—an invention of the 19th century—embodies the smoothness and uniformity once theorized but never realized in Baroque-era material science. Today’s digital simulations continue this legacy, using infinitely pliable, homogeneous surfaces, akin to the abstract materials of Baroque calculus.

Inspired by these historic and theoretical antecedents, each Surface Table is both digitally modeled and meticulously hand-forged, transforming a single sheet of stainless steel into an object of fluid geometry and reflective distortion. Emerging from the digital realm, each piece enters the material world as an active participant, constantly engaged in a dialogue with its surrounding space, reflecting, distorting, and redefining its own presence.

Surface Table is designed and made from a single material – mirror-polished 304 stainless steel. Made to stand the test of time.

About studio NAWA Visit Showroom →

Studio NAWA is a creative partnership between Alina Nazmeeva and John Wagner, based in Chicago, Illinois. This collaboration fuses Alina's background as a media artist with John's expertise as an architect, merging their passions for digital simulation and material assembly. Alina, a Tatarstan-born media artist and educator, crafts works integrating XR, AI, textile, physical installation, digital simulation, and gaming engines as storytelling devices and as sites of critique. John, a practicing architect, creates spaces and assemblages with a honed sensibility and understanding of detail, materiality, and respecting the longevity of finely crafted objects and spaces. Together, their creative process is non-linear, oscillating between material and digital experimentation. Intuitive and visceral, yet deeply research-based, their work combines a range of techniques and materials, from analog and digital fabrication experiments with stainless steel and textiles, to working with gaming engines, augmented and virtual reality.
