Surface Table

Design: 2008

Description:
Two Royal Designers for Industry, one from the world of furniture design and one from the world of Formula One racing car design, have collaborated on this super slim composite table. By using state-of-the-art autosport / aerospace technology, and exploiting the inherent rigidity of layered carbon fibre, Terence Woodgate and John Barnard have created an astonishing table that spans 3 metres and has a thickness of just 2mm at the edge (five times thinner than its nearest equivalent). This sophisticated design can be used simply as an elegant dining table and is utilitarian enough to function in a workspace.
