路边的小桌(CURBSIDE TABLE)由KVA Matx事务所为Covid-19疫情设计,是基于特殊时期公众生活而设计的城市家具。小桌可放置于路边,为社区或小型商铺提供便携式及非接触式的物品交换点,方便周边居民轻松的交换商品和必需品。

即使是疫情恢复,生活恢复正轨,路边的小桌仍能作为安全的共享平台,在不同的时间服务公众。该项目借鉴了传统的街边市场,摊位及微型店铺,创造出有利于集体共享的前瞻性城市设计。

The CURBSIDE TABLE created by KVA Matx, is an urban furniture design for the emerging infrastructure of public care in the time of Covid-19. Located at curbside, it serves neighbors and small business as a portable, contactless transfer station where goods and essential items are exchanged within easy reach.

As we slowly re-enter the public world, the CURBSIDE TABLE provides a surface that we can safely share —at different moments in time. Drawing on traditions of street markets, threshold stands, and micro-storefronts, it offers a forward-looking vision for collective urban practices of caring and sharing.

路边的小桌是KVA Matx事务所在波士顿设计并制造的,由可持续性的胶合板制成。10秒不到,即可从一块平板组装成桌子,且不需要任何工具或硬件设施。桌子表面涂有保护性耐用油漆,无毒且可清洁。不使用时,桌子可拆解平放,人工搬运存放。

Created and fabricated in Boston by KVA Matx, the CURBSIDE TABLE is milled from simple, sustainable plywood. It assembles from flat to form with no tools or hardware in under 10 seconds. The table surface has a protective, durable paint finish that can be wiped clean and disinfected. When not in use, the CURBSIDE TABLE can be disassembled, carried by hand, and stored flat.

当社会陷入这场严峻的健康危机,KVA团队仍专注于设计,致力于帮助群众维持安全且多样的社会性生活。在城市生活日益分化,隔离和不平等的今天,路边的小桌作为一种“反”潮流的设计,试图以新的形式增强社会的人文关怀。

As we inhabit this devastating health crisis, the team at KVA chooses to focus on design that brings people together safely to support the diversity of urban public life. As a form of “counter” intelligence, the CURBSIDE TABLE is a social action that offers a new format for urban care in the face of increasing division, isolation, and inequity in our cities.
