Shift Table
for Arco
The Shift table designed by Jorre Van Ast for Arco is a slim minimalist table with a friendly natural design. The table’s core is a metal plate with a semi-massive wood layer glued on top. The semi-massive wood layer gives the table all the advantages of solid wood, yet scarce hardwood is used sparingly. The wooden tabletop rests on an aluminum frame and cast legs taper, giving the table an elegant look — available fixed or with an extendable leaf.
