Ripple

The middle tables that used usually take place in the middle of the spaces and cause difficulty with the approach problems. For this reason, the service tables are used to open this gap.

This dynamic motion coincided with Ripple's fluid design lines reflecting from nature with the variability of a drop and the waves formed by that drop.
