This whole series of starting with the same materials and creators making it their own is genius. I think the best part about it is being able to see the thought processes behind each aspect of the build.
Loved both and how different they are from each other. Also really appreciated the mutual admiration that the designers had for each other's work.
Perfectly said... Totally agree!! Both beautiful pieces. Both beautiful people to respect and admire one another's work. 😊💕
I agree as well. And, I think, it was obvious that the admiration was genuine and not at all forced as it so often feels. There was absolutely none of the usual smug undercurrent of “So THAT’S what you came up with? Mine is clearly superior!” These are two interesting people who are able to look beyond their own mode of design and expression to understand and appreciate the other work.
Suggestion: mailboxes, I feel like it's an overlooked garden accessory, a really good design would make anyone look twice
i second this!!! mailboxes
I was so quickly dismissive of the Gradient table at first, only to be BLOWN AWAY by the resin process and final result. Just wow!!
Very nice but the thumbnail spoils the end result quite a bit!
ARGEE
More like completely 😂
I am OK with the spoiler tho, it's actually the reason why I clicked into this vid cuz I wanted to know how could they make such a drastic transformation
@@shernerdaz same for me. If they hadn’t had images, most likely I would have skipped over this video.
Yes I agree, no surprise in store. I wish they just did a side by side photo of the designers with the original lack table shown.
My ex housemate use to use resin with paintings. Let me tell you, it it the hardest substance to control. The amount of times you need to go back and do it all again because some areas didn’t set while others did. It’s very temperamental. So to get the result that Quincy did is very impressive
They are both sooo innovative and creative but also wow ALL THIS JUST 1 DAY?? Amazing
No chance.. that resin would take a long while to set
@@LordDaveKoresh Major props to both designers anyways!
@@LordDaveKoresh he said he had to use a different type of quick-drying resin to make it in a day, but normally he would use a resin that take 3 days to dry
oh my!! There was so many steps to Quincy's table - so much respect for his process and the result is spectacular. Ginger's looks really beautiful too.
They both look fantastic. I prefer Quincy’s table because of the colors. I also like how the “error” of the resin reaction turned out to be a good thing. Makes this table just that much more one of a kind. Good job, Quincy & Ginger.
I came in thinking hers was nicer, but after seeing the work and precision he did on his table, I would def buy his table. Like hers is when you have money, his is when you're wealthy. Love it.
Yes
Me too, the detail on Quincy’s just takes it to another level
I think that if the guy had more time to do the resin right, he could have planed it and sanded/polished it really awesome. The color shift idea is awesome.
I love that Quincy's still maintains the lack form, some of these transformations just use the piece for materials alone without any reference to the original, forcing their design language onto the piece instead of establishing a dialogue, why I think the lawn chair one was a little more interesting since it challenged the designers to build on top of the metal framework
Couldn’t agree more
Yeah I feel like what was the point of starting with that table
@@m4xw3lL17 Same here, I thought they were going to add things onto it.
Like cutting a square out of the side, for magazines to fit in (or a vase with flowers that'd pop out of the table) and a glass part in the top, with colourful glass, so you can look through and see what's underneath.
Mosaic-tiles, half-a-bubbles of epoxy on top (large ones) that open and reveal some snacks or candy or..something decorative.
Youknow, like how oldfashioned world-globe-tables have beer and booze in them (in movies at least) or a special added drawer that works as an additional part of the table, to put the napkins on. I don't know, I thought they were 'hacking' the table, not hacking it into pieces and using the materials.
I really liked them both. Ginger’s table was organic looking and I like the legs. Quincy’s table has beautiful colors, the top has movement like looking in a beautiful sea.
The whole process seems mesmerizing to watch. We all look forward to more videos like this.
Quincy’s table was dope, the ‘mistake’ made it better imo. Looks like those ant farms made of blue gel that get tunnels burrowed in them
I wish they showed more of that because it looked really interesting but they were hiding it a little bit
I think... that isn't really art... he just has to buy the equipment and anyone can do it
@@avabartlett1487 I don't think art should be valued based on if anyone can do it or not... 'anyone' can learn to knit or crochet and that can still be art, 'anyone' can make abstract art
@@avabartlett1487 ok, then go do it, post in on your channel, i’ll be eagerly awaiting the results
@@avabartlett1487 I think that the nightwatch from Rembrandt isn't art either. You just have to buy the canvas, brushes and the paint and anyone can do it. Also what's the thing with music? That's not art either. You just buy an instrument and some recording equipment and anyone can do it.
ginger's table capture my attention straight away from the thumbnail, like quincy said, it's the movement and fluidity in that table and its geometry that is so captivating and pleasant to the eye . but throughout the video, quincy's table was just absolutely mind-blowing, the depth and dimensions and dynamic within that table was just absolutely enticing and innovative; both of you guys were awesome
Really dig both tables, didn't even realise it was a Lack table.
Just a suggestion: If the thumbnail had blurred/pixelated previews of the end result on both sides of a picture of the original Lack table it'd have gathered views while maintaining a surprise ending.
But great video regardless!
Both were lovely, creative takes, but I have to say I loved Ginger's creation! I would put that in my house.
I feel bad for Quincy with all those air bubbles. Despite the brave face he put on it, the work lends itself to flawlessness.
But the bubbles made it look more beautiful.
@@semrayildiz6970 the one bubble after 12:17 looks like a sperm
Imagine if he had more time! The colors and concept are awesome
@@GreenVenus yeah… I kinda don’t like the concept of having to do it with this short amount of time. Crafts like his need alot of time
With more time he could’ve filled in the bubbles and fixed it. He is definitely playing it off there is no way he’s happy with it
i just wanna see their techniques combined ngl
I would very much love to see the epoxy table remake again without the time restriction to see the perfect result he designed
I mean it's good that he liked the table he made in the end but I would like to see the table without the sperm shaped airholes
He made another one. You can see it on his Ig
I love how these processes were polar opposite;one was organic and flowing, the other was rigid geometry. Yet in the end, the both created an explosion of movement and momentum. Hers with shape and texture and tone, and his with shape and color.
Both are amazing examples of creativity and knowledge of design.
this is the best series on this channel. love it. (2nd best is the 3 designers do a render each for a room)
Agree
Love both of these designs equally and I could see them in any room depending on style and context!
Love both of these tables and the two different styles these designer brought!
It so great to see what comes out of skilled creative minds. Both of them did very well but (eventhough it not my type of decor) I leaning more towards Quincy's because it so hypothetical, I could stare at it all day. Thanks for sharing and blessing to you and all in the days to come.
I think the resin table is my favorite - both great tho!
i love the Ginger Table so minimal yet elegant
STILL A FAVE SERIES OF MINE ON AD!!
both incredible. love Quincy's colors.
The resin is INSANE wow
I love the bean table! She created something completely different without adding a ton of extras to the original materials.
So much fun to watch this. Such creativity some people have. Love both tables 🥰
Loved ginger’s table
At a certain point, these stop being what they were before, and you gotta ask, "why not build a whole new coffee table?" I mean, it's not a challenge, but if it was, I'd say one of these really let's the original piece stand as an updated form... Rather than a new table, with pieces of the old table attached.
Other than that; both are neat designs outside of the IKEA prompt.
Definitely thought this, but it's an interesting way of introducing some sort of major constraint, which always tends to add an extra spark of creativity into a design brief.
Loved their genuine interaction at the end! And he really described her table so well 😊
Bean table FTW.
Love the blue green color of Quincy's table and love the shape of Ginger's table.
quincy’s was so sick! the way he set up the cnc was really smart they both killed it
The colourful table looks like something that would definitely fit in my room
id wanna see a version of quincys where it was completely bubble free just to see the gradients even better
the best part is where both of them start appreciate each others work they are both very creative and i love this concept
I never get these videos: they do so much work they're basically making something from scratch.
I agree. Its pretty much from scratch. But then they wouldnt have a hook to get people to watch.
Would you prefer they apply peel and stick vinyl like a DIY youtuber and call it a day?
This is one of my favorite series but I want the end results to be a surprise! The thumbnail gives away the ending!
i love the color gradient effect, it reminds me of those computer simulations where you can see how much stress there is in each part of an object
this is my favorite series on this channel
I'm obsessed with this series
I don't know which one to choose. They are both transformed in such different ways. Very nice
That was so cool! I forget there are all these incredible artists out there that either don't have youtube channels or I haven't found them yet anyway
i think the bubbles are actually due to humidity while being applied and dried. Wonder if it has a humid day in that studio
They both have great ideas and skills
I’ve turned one of these into a dog kennel for my two 12 pound dogs. We love it.
Ohhh damnn… If they mix their aesthetic together… :D
Quincy's table was so cool! I love the color transformation.
His table 👌🏽 makes me think of bubbles in the ocean ❤
Love Quincy's design. Would love to see a series of it.
This is wild😵! The tables turned out amazing.
please more videoes like these!!
They are both Beautiful 💯
Fascinating to see the creative process so exposed in two very different ways.
We need more episodes of this series!
These are really cool. I'd definite take both of these tables.
I have this table on black as well from the old tenant and been planning to paint it or something, but it would never achieve such results haha
I love the respect in all of this
the resin table is actually really well made
these turned out so pretty!!
Love Ginger’s table. I want that in my living room.
Quincy ate her up and yet he is so humble.
I love both tables so much. It's hard to pick a favorite! I would put both of them in my house 😊
I love both.
Insane to do a complex resin project in that timeframe.
It would be so cool to auction for charity the objects that designers make in this series!
Artists!!! More please!
This format never disappoints!
This series was so interesting, i really wish AD would bring it back :(
that designs are cool i am not sure if everyone will buy tjem but if someone has enough designexperience it has to be a cool speicial bonus
They should have worked together using her shape with his colour
You’re supposed to call it a cocktail table when it’s transformed. That’s how you know it’s fancy.
That cool mistake on the blue table made it look like a microchip!!
Literally have my lack table in front of me while watching this
This is so interesting, I was not expect to get this on my homepage today
That resin table is stunning! Wish i could afford it!
they are superstars!!!
Quincy’s is wonderful
both did such a great job! so amazing!
love it! please make it a series on youtube !
That is so interesting and creative. I’d love to do one of these someday!
I love this kind of videos!
The Palm Report sent me 😎 very cool vid, loved being shown their design processes
Incredible artist and work!
this is wholesome tbh
The IKEA Lack table is definitely iconic though
Both are awesome 👌 👏 👍 😍 💖
i have this exact same coffee table, maybe i can get some ideas lol
Quincy's table is brilliant. I want to buy that table.
is it still hacking if they basically built them from ground up?
I loved this!!! Wow. Totally unexpected
Quincy?! Same dog name from Patrick the vine guy! Hahahaha savage! What I like of this designs, ugh gosh I love her design. 😍👌🏻
SUPER cool format
ohh l love Gingers!
