Obsession Table by Nadia Pedreschi

Obsession Table, 2009

Born from the Master’s program at Design Academy Eindhoven, Nadia Pedreschi’s Obsession Table is what happens when you give our secret love for tidiness a stage. The tabletop is covered in immaculate, laser-straight lines — an irresistible 1cm grid practically begging you to align your pens, coffee cup, and perhaps your entire life.

Sit down at it, and you may find your inner neat freak doing a victory dance. In fact, Pedreschi seems to want you to flirt dangerously with OCD tendencies, so that you can step into the shoes of those who live in a world of precision every day. We haven’t yet taken a seat ourselves, but looking at those perfectly spaced squares… we can already imagine being transformed into a sleeker, sharper, and, dare we say, more perfect human being.
