A French solid oak table with a Brutalist simplicity. The table is completely held together using traditional pegged joints rather than nails or glue that lock into place when the table is set into position. Its few features include lengthened integrated cross bars and carved planes to the inside of each leg.
This table designed in 1950 was made for a private residence in the Netherlands. The concept and plans for the table can be found in the archive of Den Boon’s work in the NAi archives in Rotterdam.
