A big table
Designed for the offices of the Fondation d’Ets des Galeries Lafayette, this table makes use of the main qualities of an industrial material.
Here the white film-wrapped plywood dictates the dimensions, with as little manufacturing as possible. Simply placed side by side horizontally and lengthwise, the panels allow to create the upper working surface.
A lower board creates a storing space next to it while allowing a space at the centre of the table. Placed randomly, the cutouts in the main board give access to hidden sockets.
The edges are visible and cut raw. They express the origins and the thickness of the material, highlight the board changes and reveal the desire for a minimum modification of the initial format.
