It’s all in the details.
One of the ongoing furniture design challenges is creating a boardroom table that can accommodate 20-plus users and feels light, open, inviting, and ergonomic for them. Typical boardroom tables are massive surfaces with a heavy base to support the large top. The base can impact the user’s knees and generally lacks interest because of the dimensions and utility.
We developed a 20-person table for an advertising agency in Dallas. Their new space is clean, modern, and minimal. The idea of having a massive table slab didn’t align with their vision. We worked with them to develop a loop table with an open center and a cantilevered surface. The base structure needed to support a 3’ cantilever but not be a massive, imposing structure. Our design and engineering team created a structure that feels light due to the vertical slats and opacity but is strong enough to cantilever the massive surface. The cantilever also removed any impact to the user’s leg space.
The adaptability of the Moroch Table engineering is further demonstrated in our work with another client. Their space, featuring breeze block, natural, earthy tones, and wood elements, was a perfect fit for the cantilever table structure, showcasing its versatility and ability to complement various aesthetics.
