Its legs, made of solid wood with an oval profile, are horizontally connected by strong aluminium bridges that ensure the table’s stability and prevent the frameless solid wood top from warping. The rounded edges on the bottom of the table top are not just a gesture of added comfort. Depending on the viewing angle, they give the table top an especially slender appearance, thus emphasising the elegance of the overall design.
