or Call to Order

The Ponte table designed by Philipp Mainzer for e15 features a 1.6” solid wood top and sides are made up of a total of seven to eight boards (depend­ing upon depth selected). The hori­zon­tal and verti­cal planes of the Ponte table are joined through a distinc­tive detail where the ends of the top expanse are milled to half of the thick­ness and precisely fit into the verti­cal sides. The table expanse is further supported by two under­side cross beams that are oriented toward the center. Ponte to be used as either a dining table or a desk. Its form and joint details make the table an ideal choice to pair with Mainzer’s Calle bench.

The Ponte table features construc­tion in 1.6” thick solid wood avail­able in a choice of north­ern Euro­pean oiled oak or walnut. The Ponte is avail­able in nine sizes – each with a depth choice of 31.1” or 36.15
