Two table trestles and a tabletop on top: Ready is the table! I have always been enthusiastic about this simple principle. During my student days, this kind of uncomplicated table construction accompanied me as a desk. When I moved in with my boyfriend, it became our dining table. And when we had visitors and started dancing after dinner - those were the danceable years - the table could simply be folded up and stowed away.
This was probably the idea of designer Kristian Vedel: when he was appointed professor in the Faculty of Industrial Design at Nairobi University, he noticed that there was a lack of functional furniture for the students in the classrooms. His frames were the solution. Thanks to their foldability, they are easy to store when not in use.
Straight and clean lines underline the overall design, and it is obvious that the design was carried out by an exceptional architect with a strong sense of ergonomic and functional requirements.
Characteristic of the creative use of materials are the remarkable corner joints and the characteristic polished metal fittings, which play an important role in characterising the quality of the trestles and emphasising their subtle virtue.
