Story
A trestle reduced to its working parts
e15 presents BASIS Trestle as a continuation of its collaboration with David Chipperfield. The manufacturer emphasises the solid-wood supports, traditional joinery and the ability to combine them with separately supplied tabletops.
A pair rather than a fixed table
The official details describe delivery as a pair in one box. Three published table lengths share the same labelled width/depth and height, while the chosen top material determines its thickness.
