Description

This table by Belgian designer Jens Praet shows the beauty of the honest material chipboard, which is created by an aesthetic finishing treatment. The elegantly shiny semi-transparent lacquered table top in aquamarine green forms an unobtrusive contrast to the simple structure of this modernly manufactured table. At the same time, as with laminated furniture, no signs of the construction are visible.

This table is currently no longer in production. You can therefore purchase a last piece here.
