Description
Trestle system
BASIS Trestle is David Chipperfield's 2017 table support for e15. The product comprises solid-wood trestles constructed with traditional joinery; e15 supplies the supports as a pair in one box, offers the tabletop separately and labels all three dimension axes.

- Trestle materials: European oak or European walnut
- Top options: solid wood, glass or the page's discontinued solid-core HPL option

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.
