The "Bodytable" was designed for two different dining establishments in the Netherlands: the restaurant of the Boijmans Van Beuningen Museum and the cafeteria of the KOW Architects office. In both instances, the "Bodytable" was implemented in order to enhance communication. The irregular shape of the table was designed so people would sit closer to each other, and thus be more likely to start a conversation.
