Ceramic Table

Overview

The Ceramic Table by Muller Van Severen for HAY is an outdoor table with a round glazed porcelain tabletop on a steel tube column and an exposed aggregate concrete base. It joins minimalistic expression with a bold use of colour.

Construction

The tabletop is solid porcelain with a high-gloss glaze, handmade, so colour and shape can vary slightly from table to table. The column is outdoor powder coated steel tube, while the concrete base is water-based lacquered and has an exposed aggregate finish. A hook underneath the tabletop lets several tables be linked securely with wires. The knock-down construction requires assembly, and the tabletop and base are mounted to the tube with screws and washers.

Colour in the material

The Ceramic Table continues HAY's collaboration with Muller Van Severen. The designers pair a minimalistic expression with a bold use of colour, and here the colour sits in the glazed porcelain of the round tabletop.

The familiar table archetype

The table follows the familiar table archetype of a round top on a single column. Strong proportions and the solid presence of colour hold the design together, and its language is simple and intuitive.
