This super-ellipse shaped table, of solid laminated European Pine sealed with a satin finish, allows for six people to be generously seated at a time. The grain of the timber is turned upwards, exposing the timber’s laminations which distort as they navigate the table’s edge.
The legs are a hybrid between an Art-Deco tower and a fasces, and are finished in automotive black paint. At the base of each, three large steel rods meet the floor, separated from it by a pad of felt. At their zenith, the steel rods decrease in diameter, becoming a collection of delicate fingers holding up the solid timber top.
The centre piece of the table’s composition is a diamond shape with its grain reversed. Its dimensions record the original width of the single standard Timber sheet from which the table is made.
