Acapulco Design and the Ring Table in AD Magazine
March 23, 2021

Architectural Digest: The Munich-based studio Acapulco Design is expanding its collection with a table that, like its neighbor, is modern, Mexican and a little nostalgic at the same time. The inventor of the "Acapulco Chair" is still unknown. It is rumored that a French tourist designed the piece of furniture as a comfortable seat for his beach vacation in Mexico. The stranger would hardly have guessed that the design from the 1950s is still popular around the world today – there is no such thing as a license. That's why Benjamin Caja from Munich, founder of Acapulco-Design , brought the classic Mexican armchair back to Germany with him from his vacation trip. For six years he has been working with designers on his Acapulco collection, which has now been expanded to include dining chairs and side tables in addition to the lounge chair. He recently launched the “Ring Table” together with industrial designer Olivia Herms .

The structure of the dining table follows a clear system: the center is a metal ring in which the butterfly-shaped struts converge. In combination with the chamfered tabletop, the entire concept appears filigree and casual at the same time, despite the robust materials. "The table is a natural evolution of the 'Acapulco Chair' and inspired by its delicate and complex shapes," explains Olivia Herms. “The challenge was finding the right balance. The 'Acapulco Chair' is an inspiration, but the table isn't meant to be a copy or a literal translation.” We think the duo succeeded very well.
