Story
Function and aesthetics in one design
Nicholai Wiig Hansen set out to unite function and aesthetics in a simple design. He says it is paramount that function, materials and aesthetics come together, and that being easy to assemble is part of Tablo's function. The sharpened edge of the tabletop suits the lacquered legs and gives the table a pure, minimalistic feel.
A name from two languages
Tablo refers to the English 'table' and the French 'tableau', the latter meaning a scenic, organised arrangement. With its simple expression Tablo fits most interior styles, alone or together with other Tablo tables.
