Story
Super normal in a coffee table
Vitra's family text places the Plate Tables in Jasper Morrison's "super normal" approach: an unassuming, classic shape with finely balanced proportions, where subtle curves meet precisely defined edges.
Sizes made to be grouped
The dimensions are coordinated so that several tables can be combined into a large surface or into diverse arrangements, which Vitra offers as a solution for unusual sofa configurations.
