About a table

Table

There’s something about a table.

Whether you put things on it, walk or stand around it, sit back contemplate combat communicate across it, use it for coffee or conferences … it begs to be a part of things. It’s an open-invite meeting-place and the single most collaboration inducing piece of technology every invented.

When in doubt, gather around.

When things need hammering, face to face or side by side.

When you need to work things out, sit and discuss with a sketch pad.

 The point: a table encourages community. You gather together. The subject of the day is right there in the middle of things – whether it’s a banquet or a gnarly piece of hardstone. Sure, you can poke it around and avoid it, but seeing as it’s there … probably best to deal with it.

Skippy strategy: Put reality in the middle of the table, gather ‘round, and deal with it.
