Story
Sketched in minutes, developed over years
The designers sketched Tab Table in minutes and developed it over years; the namesake tab came last.
Familiar forms, made differently
Driven by a wish to challenge conventions, the designers explored how familiar forms could be made in smarter, more original ways. The form is simple and the technical precision behind it high; the lines are sharp and the head adjustable. The Indianapolis Museum of Art and the Art Institute of Chicago both have Tab Table in their permanent collections.
