stainless & tallowwood
process
The frames were constructed from square section stainless steel in two sizes – 50mm for the table and 38mm for the benches to achieve a balance of scale. The welds were mitred and ground to give a seamless surface. I then cut, treated and attached the tallowwood slats. For extra space and storage, the benches slide into the underneath of the table.
result
I love my designs to be well used and appreciated. After 10 years this table still looks as pristine as it did when it was made.

Table: 1800mm x 1000mm x 690mm
Benches: 1650mm x 450mm x 450mm
50mm and 38mm square section stainless steel & tallowwood.
The tables needed to be durable and weather-resistant, so I created a design that is both structuraly and visually pure, from stainless steel and tallowwood. I find the combination of flawless stainless steel and natural timber very appealing.
I designed this table as part of a corporate refit I did for Carnival Australia back in 2006. It was one of three matching pieces designed for the outdoor areas.
