The focus was to envision a complete system, so it was imperative to not only design the dining table where either party can meet, but to consider the seating system that contributes towards the whole atmosphere. The table takes both attributes of power from Obama and Prada. The idea of transparency and being intertwined with the people contributes to the power Obama has in his position. While Prada's idea of unconformity and her inspiration of materials to produce striking designs, her motive of power.
The overall form is a metaphor of a fabric nature, both in principle of being in touch with his people (Obama), and the physical nature of how fabric folds and follows form (Parada).
As a place of meeting and dining, the curvilinear forms gives an impression of a casual and relaxed environment. The fan shape is metaphor of a melting pot of ideas from across the table flowing freely.
