Bistro Table
Black stained solid ash
The tables in traditional Viennese coffee houses are those that often go unnoticed in everyday life. These tables are perfect just as they are. They have a timeless beauty and a functionality that reflects the situation from which they were designed. When analysing historical photographs, we noticed that back then relatively small tables were surrounded by four or more seats – a perfect place for conversation.
Our interpretation of this table encourages a focus on conversation in a place that was designed for these occasions. The understated, single-leg table offers maximum legroom, while the monolithic base provides sufficient stability. The simple form allows any type of chair to go with. Despite its functionality and omnipresence, the all-black table turns nearly invisible and provides a neutral platform for tableware.
