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.

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.
