Story
A trestle system
David Chipperfield and e15 developed BASIS as a table system that brings traditional joinery into a flexible format for living and working. The manufacturer dates the table to 2017.
From one table to a row
Square and round tops broaden the possible formats, while basic, middle and end modules let multiple rectangular tables continue in sequence. The double beam also creates the option to integrate wire management.
