Today's trestle table

The trestle table is gaining a lot of popularity today. Such tables are light, user-friendly and can be easily stored. But why do they always look more or less the same? This prototype attempts to bring a contemporary version of the classic trestle table.

Where functionality and sculpturalism meet

The steel and wood were both crafted and interact with each other. By hammering the steel, you turn a rather thin steel plate into a stable object. Magnets and circular infrequent cuts on the underside of the tabletop ensure that the table is stable. The hammered trestles can be positioned in different places under the table top. Multiple table tops can be linked, giving the user the freedom to determine the length of the table.

A bench or stool? The choice is up to the user

Accompanying this table are two stools made with the same techniques and materials. The seat of the stools is removable and can be replaced by a charred wooden board with milled edges, which results in a bench. It is up to the user to choose which seat to place on the legs.
