FLYING Walnut Dining Table

This stunningly beautiful walnut and crystal clear acrylic dining table was commissioned for a client in North Portugal. She had chosen the Mantide chairs as her chair of choice and needed a huge dining table, 4.3m x 1m to go with the 12 chairs. Our French supplier had found us an exceptional trunk of walnut. Cut and planked 12yrs prior to the construction of this table. The tree had come from a small private estate in the Loire Valley. When one has 12 chairs around a dining table it can get quite busy. I wanted a base that not only showcased the stunningly beautiful walnut and did not increase to the busyness of 48 chair legs. The idea of using crystal came to mind quite quickly. The challenge was finding the crafts people to do the job properly. The table has no fixings. The whole assembly stabilises purely under its own weight.



Another amazing collaboration with fantastic craftsmen. @inplas_fabrications
