Tom Ducarouge designed a heat-reactive table for On Running that changes color when warm. The table features a two-part structure shaped like the brand's logo, accompanied by matching circular stools. Made from raw brown steel, it exhibits an industrial look, blending with softer surroundings. During Paris Haute Couture Week 2025, this unique design was showcased. A clear varnish protects the surface while allowing color transformations. Additionally, a battery-powered under-lighting system enhances its aesthetics, without visible wiring.
Tom Ducarouge creates a heat-reactive table for On Running that transforms from a standard brown color to a deeper hue when exposed to heat. This inventive design features a two-part structure shaped as the brand's logo, with rounded and U-shaped components, and is complemented by circular stools in matching colors. Made from raw brown steel, the piece retains an industrial aesthetic amid soft surroundings, showcased during Paris Haute Couture Week 2025.
To prevent wear and corrosion, Ducarouge coats the heat-reactive table with a clear varnish that maintains the material's raw look while allowing color changes to remain visible. When users place warm objects on the surface, it shifts to a richer, darker copper tone, providing an interactive experience as users can temporarily 'paint' on the table. The color returns rapidly to normal upon cooling.
The heat-sensitive design extends to the stools, crafted from the same material. The table features an integrated battery-powered lighting system that produces a warm glow beneath the surface, accentuating the unique shape and adding ambiance without the hassle of wires or plugs.
The heat-reactive table was presented at exclusive invites during Paris Haute Couture Week 2025, allowing attendees to engage with the innovative design. Videos shared on social media further illustrate the dynamic color-changing effect, encouraging playful interaction with the piece.
