Our Bi-Ped table collection, ranging from occasional tables to dining tables, are a continuation of our exploration of functionalism and monumental simplicity, drawing a line from the Tractor Stool (2000), Cluster Stool (2017) and Brutus Chair (2019). The tables are designed to have an efficient shape with a bold expression and sculptural form, carved from solid wood. The base of each table has a smooth, elliptical visual style. The incline of the surface of solid wood – broader at the base, sculpted and tapered towards the top – speaks of strength and stability. Larger tables are comprised of two smooth forms that sit apart with negative space between the supporting elements. Smaller tables are comprised of a single pedestal with an artfully sliced-through core. The top of each table is also solid wood, not veneer; a radius edged 3.2 cm on the dining tables, 5 cm with a sculpted lip edge on the occasional tables. Each object looks firmly grounded and commands attention but is refined too, a balance of presence with lightness.
