Description
Overview
The Voiles Dining Table is by designer-sculptor Maurice Barilone. Its base is made of curved sheets with an aerial shape, giving the look of lightness out of thick metal. The table is a numbered series, not limited.
Construction
The base is a 10 mm-thick sheet of steel, cut and shaped. The sheets are subjected to 1500 kg of pressure, welded together and re-polished before the finish is added. The top is 15 mm-thick tempered glass. The table is made with two materials only, steel and glass, and is assembled without glue.

Story
Three months of workshop research
Three months of research in the workshop were necessary for Maurice Barilone to obtain the aerial shape of the curved sheets that make up the base of Voiles. The sheets are cut, subjected to 1500 kg of pressure, welded together, and re-polished before the desired finish is added.
Reflections from galvanization
The beauty of the pieces is the look of lightness created out of thick metal. The reflections created by the galvanization, in four metallic finishes, or by the vibrant colored chrome-plated finish give the table a refined look.
