Despite a global need for gender parity, female designers in industrial design remain dramatically underrepresented, with only 5% in the UK and 19% in the US. Companies like King Living in Australia are making strides toward gender inclusivity, featuring female designers like Alinta Lim, whose innovative Issho dining table exemplifies this change. Lim’s designs emphasize adaptability and inclusivity, challenging traditional standards of furniture design by allowing pieces to cater to diverse human needs, reflecting a significant cultural shift in the industry.
Alinta Lim is a Senior Designer at King Living. Her award-winning creation, the Issho dining table, has become one of the brand's most celebrated dining designs and exemplifies the company's innovative approach.
The Issho collection, whose name means 'together' in Japanese, began as what Lim describes as 'a form exercise,' exploring how repetitions of a singular sculpted piece could create a harmonious pedestal volume.
