Invited audiences to become performers and an integral part of the table itself.

Inspired by the musical culture of the Gulf region, where audiences traditionally gather around and accompany musicians, the TukTukDum table encouraged interaction by inviting the audience to become performers themselves. The design redefined the conventional use of tables by incorporating openings in the surface, allowing people to sit inside them and creating a unique experience for users. Crafted using traditional methods and organic materials, the table served a variety of purposes, making it suitable for both public outdoor spaces and dining inside homes.
