Jane Table

Overview

Jane is a table by Jean-Marie Massaud with a broad, irregular marble top and three columns. The sheet names the table 260 × 140 cm, and its drawing prints 262 × 140 cm, H 73 cm. The page says five, eight or ten people can sit around it and that it can also work as a table for working.

Construction

The marble top has a glossy or semi-gloss finish and a technical mesh under it. The three columns each have a steel mounting plate to the top, a central wooden body and a steel floor plate. The core of each column is solid beech inside four high-density MDF panels veneered in ash, in a moka stain.

Specifications

• 262 × 140 cm, H 73 cm (5618620): values printed on the drawing
• Weight: 300 kg (columns 100 kg, top 200 kg)

A table as an organic, free element

The page says that with Jane Massaud rewrites the rulebook and imagines the table as an organic and free element in space, held up by three imposing, irregular supports that almost look sculpted.

A surface that seems to float

The page contrasts the solid base with the airy lightness of the broad top and its rounded, irregular corners, and says the steel junction between legs and top adds to the sense that the surface floats. The sheet pictures the surface as a light sheet of material with three deliberately rounded corners.
