Design desk 160×80 - melamine black, stainless steel frame

Form + Function at a glance

• For offices, studios or architectural workspaces
• Choice of melamine (white, black) or linoleum (anthracite)
• Solid stainless steel frame - filigree, stable, without cross strut

This simple design desk combines a matt black table top with a finely polished stainless steel frame made of solid round rod. The design picks up on central principles of the Karlsruhe architect and university lecturer Egon Eiermann - but is further developed in formal terms: The frame deliberately dispenses with a cross strut, while remaining extremely stable and visually light.

The height-adjustable feet compensate for uneven floors, while the cross strut can be positioned flexibly. In combination with the fixed connection via recessed Rampa sockets, the result is a sophisticated, stable table system - also suitable for use on castors. The table is suitable for a wide range of environments: Offices, studios or modern living areas. Also available as a base frame only.

Also available as an outdoor version with teak table top:

German craftsmanship

Made from brushed V2A stainless steel solid material, produced with green electricity in Karlsruhe. All metal parts are sanded by hand with a satin finish for a fine feel, high durability and a consistent finish. The table top comes from a regional joinery, is precisely crafted and firmly screwed to the frame. This ensures lasting stability, even during mobile use. Production takes place in a closed material cycle. More about the stainless steel and the surface >>

Design

The table combines a clear, minimalist design with high functionality. The table top with all-round real wood edge and the filigree stainless steel frame form a formal unit. The minimalist design deliberately dispenses with cross-bracing for greater lightness combined with high stability and sturdiness.
