PENTAVOLA

Posted on July 15th, 2015 by Nicole Sakr

Posted under: NADLAB

NADAAA has designed a component-based all-purpose table that seats 5-10 people. Beyond dining, meeting, and social functions, it is also conceived as a work table, its central oculus serves as a structural grommet that allows for the passage of wiring and technical elements. The table’s light-weight profile is created through an aluminum and plywood composite structure. This light-weight design combined with notched connections allow it to be disassembled and reassembled easily — making it useful for flexible classrooms as well as for use in the home.

Available as a flat-pack package, the table can be ordered by emailing nada@nadaaa.com.
Pricing on request. Delivery available.
