The works of the first phase of L'Atelier put their stake on the execution and details of handmade joinery with noble materials, such as leather, marble, and Rosewood, but already introduced some techniques and materials considered innovative.
The table presents a solid Rosewood structure with a glass top. This quirky design gathers distinct solutions: the rectangular feet support a central turned base in a conical shape, fixed to the glass top with a piece of solid wood screwed through a hole in the center.
The piece is very well-constructed, and every detail seems precious: wood fittings, perfectly turned curves, balanced proportions, and fascinating structural components that are entirely aesthetical.
