A pair of wide, flared brass legs carries the Trestle, and nothing else. The top is a cloud-white stone look with fine grey and gold veins, edged in a fine matte brass band. At each end a broad brass panel curves slightly and widens toward the floor, like the side of a bell, giving the table a sculptural, wing-like stance.
An open underside. With no stretcher or apron, the underside is entirely clear, so guests can sit at the ends as well as the sides, and the space under the table reads as a clean, quiet shadow. The flare increases the footprint at the floor, which keeps the table steady.
Construction. Brass or brass-finished steel panels, curved and welded, with a soft satin finish; the slab is bonded to a sub-frame fixed to the leg panels, and levelling glides sit under the feet. Satin brass is more forgiving of fingerprints than a mirror polish.
Where it works. Long refectory-style tables for private dining, hotel breakfast rooms, tea rooms and restaurants where the table should look light and modern against traditional banquettes. It is a good counterpoint to buttoned leather or channelled velvet.
Planning note. Because the legs fill the table's ends, end seating should be checked on the drawing.
Options. Antique brass, bronze or nickel metal, and other stones, can be drawn on request.
