BassamFellows introduced the Plank Table Collection as a response to a
design challenge: how to make an incredibly lightweight table that would
appear to almost defy gravity? Like some of the best modern architecture,
the Plank Table challenges typical notions of structure, often inviting puzzled
looks from those who wonder how it is able to hover so effortlessly.
The table’s innovative design formula uses a triangular structure that is
independent of the rectangular geometry of the top, the Plank Table’s
legs are thus minimized and the structural span is maximized. The result is
a three-legged table with triangular cantilevers at each end, creating the
illusion of a floating surface. Larger tables link two triangular structures
back-to-back to form a zigzag pattern with four legs, achieving spans
of up to 9 feet – the lightest possible visual to contrast the mass of
the beautifully crafted solid wood plank top (some tables available with
glass tops).
