Private Dining Table

Overview

The Private Dining Table is a Space Copenhagen design for GUBI, offered in 260 and 320 cm lengths. Item 10111679, shown on the page, is the 260 cm table with a light stained oak veneer top and base.

Construction

GUBI describes the table as constructed from four wooden elements. Two tapered legs are attached to the veneered tabletop through a solid-wood crossbeam, which strong metal fixings hold in place. The result is a stable, sturdy table whose robustness, GUBI says, is belied by the delicacy and refinement of its appearance.

Specifications

The drawings mark 260 cm long, 100 cm deep and 73 cm high (102.4 x 39.4 x 28.8 in).

Antique Japanese furniture

Large in scale but lightweight in appearance, the dining tables share their inspiration with the rest of the Private Collection: the beauty, balance and simplicity found in antique Japanese furniture.

Joinery turned into detail

GUBI calls the tables Space Copenhagen's modern-day response to the traditional craft techniques used in Japanese joinery, which are translated visually into signature design details.
