PLYWOOD TABLE · NYC
Nathalie Pozzi
This elemental table is designed for flexible use in everyday life.
A slim shelf allows quick storage of laptops and books and an unobtrusive transition from work to dining. The design combines contemporary aesthetics and subtlety of detail, while honoring the quiet strength of simple forms.
The table is slender and grand at the same time.
It accommodates eight to ten people and the 4’ depth comfortably allows a formal dining setting. It is constructed of formaldehyde-free plywood, 1 1/4” thick. The 10’ length is monumental - yet well-proportioned to the scale of the space around it.

A hidden gap at the end of the shelf prevents objects from being forgotten in the depths, and offers - to a child hiding under the table - an unexpected space where things can be hidden and secret worlds imagined.
