Our fascination for light and translucent materials is the guiding principle for our designs. Not only is the table instrumental in determining the ambiance, but it can also shed a new light on working and conferencing. The modular construction enables the design of different conďŹ gurations.

Light, which is mainly used to create a speciďŹ c ambiance, can turn a table into a lamp. If red light is used, the table creates a warm atmosphere. Green brings a cool look. And light blue leads to a business-like, fresh ambiance. Every colour evokes its own atmosphere.

A traditional table is static: a worktop and four legs. But we have designed a frame which gives the impression that the table is about to hover in the air with the support at the bottom providing an attractive and safe base for landing.

Designing a building is quite complex due to the many parties involved and is bound by very speciďŹ c rules. Designing a table leaves much more freedom, almost like making a sculpture. But it is still the details that matter. And the details are extremely important to us.
