The ST-311 is a table that shows its construction as a design. The long top is a white sintered stone with bold grey veining, edged in a fine matte warm tin-grey band. Each end is carried by a pair of panels set at right angles: one panel in light oak, one in warm grey, so that the base reads as folded planes in two materials.
Schedule lines. Top: marble-look sintered stone, white with grey veining. Edge: fine matte warm tin-grey. Base: two L-shaped panel assemblies, light oak veneer and grey finish, set under each end.
Why the two materials. The oak ties the table to a timber floor or chairs, while the grey picks up the edge band and the veining. If the plan needs a quieter table, both panels can be specified in the same finish.
Construction. Slab bonded to a steel sub-frame fixed to the panel assemblies; panels are built as veneered or finished boards with edge detailing, and levelling glides sit at each foot. Because the base is made of flat panels, it can be drawn to different lengths without redesigning the legs.
Where it works. Co-working cafés, hotel breakfast rooms, contemporary restaurants and communal dining where the table must look considered but not formal.
Planning note. The panels run across the table's width rather than down its length, so end seating should be checked on the drawing.
