Design brand '130' to unveil 'FLUX TABLE' at Milan Design Week 2026 in collaboration with DAIKAN

Design brand '130 (ONE THIRTY)' will unveil the prototype of the 'FLUX TABLE,' featuring the new material 'FLUX METAL,' at the 'Return to...' exhibition hosted by DAIKAN Co., Ltd. during Milan Design Week 2026, held in Milan, Italy, from Monday, April 20 to Sunday, April 26, 2026.

This project was realized through the intersection of DAIKAN's long-cultivated precision machining technology and skilled craftsmanship, concept development and material direction by FEEL GOOD CREATION Inc., and structural design and spatial implementation by 130. By combining 'FLUX METAL'—a new material expression that appears to ripple like liquid despite being metal—with 130's unique continuous frame structure, the project presents a new form of table design where material, structure, and space are unified.

■ 'FLUX METAL': A Novel Metallic Expression

'FLUX METAL,' the core of the 'FLUX TABLE,' is a new metallic expression that establishes the phenomenon of appearing fluid as a material quality. The mirror-polished cross-section creates the appearance of a viscous liquid, evoking a sense of movement despite being stationary.

This finish cannot be achieved uniformly through machining alone. Because the cross-section shifts slightly during the polishing process, the final stage requires micron-level manual work by DAIKAN's skilled artisans. It is a unprecedented metallic expression that can only be achieved through the fusion of digital processing and craftsmanship.

■ A Rippling Top and an Unwavering Base: The 'FLUX TABLE'

The 'FLUX TABLE' features a mirror-polished metal tabletop that appears to ripple like liquid despite being stationary. Supporting this top is a leg structure designed in collaboration with 130.

130's unique technique of constructing three-dimensional forms from a single continuous frame achieves both overwhelming lightness and robustness, creating a structure that possesses a handcrafted aesthetic despite being an industrial product. The combination of these two opposing elements—a rippling top and an unwavering base—is the core of the 'FLUX TABLE' design. In this project, 130 led the design and spatial implementation to translate the material expression of FLUX METAL into the 'FLUX TABLE,' showcasing the extreme technical capabilities of DAIKAN.
