Tradition meets contemporary shapes
»In the living room of the apartment, which overlooks Paris’s Place des Victoires, a Fabio Vogel burnt-steel table, Diurne custom rug, Living Divani sofa and Marcel Gascoin chairs around a 1950s Guillerme et Chambron oak table.« — New York Times, Sept. 3, 2019
When working with materials, we try to analyze what the material itself has tooffer and how did people work with it in the past. Materials have got a lot of different possibilities, to cherish these we try to keep the design simple and reluctant to focus on the material. The Paris table is an example of how contemporary shapes go along with traditional surface treatments. In the middle age, swords were submerged into linseed oil to make them stronger but also to protect the steel from rust.
In several layers, linseed was burnt into the steel to achieve a protective coat. The dark brown shade isn’t homogeneous areas where the heat got more impact, are darker. The color can range from gold to dark brown, even bluish shades can occur from the steel.
Bespoke table design for a 18th-Century Paris apartment that elegantly blends past and future.
