The Sidepig by the Dutch Designbrand Werkwaardig
Sidepig is an abstract and iconic side table in the shape of a pig. Nice and round and with a blunt nose. Sidepig could easily be a character in a comic strip. Naturally, the back of the pig is the tabletop, where there is quite some space.
Sidepig is practical and light. You can grab the table by the tail and easily take it with you. The concept behind Sidepig reinterprets the pig as a friendly and functional companion that challenges conventional perceptions. The Sidepig can carry a weight of up to 100 kg. This also makes the sidepig suitable as an extra seat.
Made from recycled and recyclable polyethylene, the Sidepig is easy to clean and designed for both indoor and outdoor use. Some colors are made from recycled fishing nets (in collaboration with 'Waste Free Oceans'. And for example, the 'stone' is made from different shades of recycled post-consumer plastic. Working with this material is an extremely important element in the design of Werkwaardig.
