An ode to modernism, the custom Silo table is an exemplar of our studio’s love of simple forms. Long and elegant, it is a clear expression of a horizontal plane supported by the two halves of a cylinder. Striking a balance between heavy and light, the 3-metre-long table appears strong and solid from one angle, yet fine and hollow from another.
The lack of ornamentation calls for meticulous detailing, such as the way the corners meet beautifully and the fully concealed supportive centre rail. Celebrating functionality, linoleum was selected as the material of choice. This hardy and tactile material clads the steel structure with a soft surface inviting the hand with a leather-like feel that is resistant to scratches.
