Product features

Description

The Karlsruhe table is a minimalist design desk for concentrated work in the home office and in architectural working environments. The filigree frame made of solid stainless steel deliberately dispenses with cross-bracing and yet remains permanently stable.

The linoleum table top has a calm, matt and warm appearance. Its pleasant feel supports focussed working in living and working spaces. It is firmly screwed to the frame via recessed Rampa sockets and forms a consistent system in form + function.

The table is suitable for home offices, studios and project work. It is also available as a frame only and in other versions.

Origin + processing

Made in our metal factory in Karlsruhe from brushed V2A stainless steel solid material. Produced with green electricity in a closed material cycle. All elements are finely and uniformly polished by hand to a silky matt finish. This ensures a fine feel, high durability and a consistent finish.

The table top comes from regional production, is carefully processed and firmly screwed to the frame. This ensures lasting stability, even when used on the move. More about the stainless steel and the surface >>

Design

The Karlsruhe table follows a clear, minimalist design. The stainless steel frame and linoleum top form a calm, balanced unit. The design deliberately dispenses with visible struts and appears light without losing stability.
