Table (built), 2022, icw Atelier Ternier

The triangle shape gives rise to the idea of a table with three legs. The tabletop takes the form of an ellipse. The shape of this ellipse can easily be determined using a plank, three nails and a piece of string. This method is also known as the gardener’s ellipse. The legs are connected using a wooden T-shape. A diagonal crossbar, connected to the tabletop at its points, provides the necessary stability. The tabletop consists of a wooden MDF sandwich panel, the grid of which is cut by the ellipse.

The tabletop is finished with a linoleum top layer. The base and tabletop can be dismantled for easy transport. The table is available in three variable combinations of two complementary colours. Due to its materiality, the table has the quality of a 1:1 scale model. A permanent prototype.
