Carte Blanche table 51x30x31 designer: Ann Demeulemeester design year: 1999 manufacturer: Bulo, Belgium materials: wood and white canvas notes: Ann Demeulemeester was born in Kortrijk in 1954. Showing a fascination for fashion at a very early age, she studied to be a fashion designer at the Royal Academy in Antwerp. Demeulemeester graduated in the class of 1980 (together with others including Walter Van Beirendonck and Dries Van Noten) that put Belgium on the international fashion map. A year after obtaining her designer's degree, Ann Demeulemeester won the “Gouden Spoel”, a prize awarded each year to the most promising young fashion designer. She made her debut on the international scene in 1986, with a show in London, together with the other five members of the so-called "Antwerp Six". Her tables for Bulo have the virginity of an unpainted canvas. In her words: “I wanted to return to the essential shape of a table, like a child would draw it…” The table can be repainted to retain its pure white color dimensions: 51" long 30" deep 31" high price: $4,000.00
