Hem’s new Glyph Beta side table is a fascinating combination of functionality and creativity. Inspired by the Greek alphabet, the table brings a welcome touch of lighthearted playfulness to the interior.
GLYPH BETA side table by Hem is the creation of Korean designer Kwangho Lee. The Seoul-based designer's work is characterised by a desire to see ordinary objects in a whole new way – that is also evident in the skillfully designed and extremely functional Glyph table.
Inspired by the Greek alphabet, the Glyph table is a small sculpture that truly catches the eye, leaving the viewer unsure if it is even furniture at all or perhaps more of a work of art.
Both answers are correct: Glyph tables are pieces of art materialized into everyday objects.
The versatile side table can be set in three different positions – by turning and tilting the table, it reveals new, usable sides of itself. The table offers many surfaces and spaces for storing and displaying lamps, books, magazines and decorative objects.
