The design of the trestle table converts the earliest forms of tables made from rock or marble around the 16th century, and later, a board of timber positioned over trestle legs, to a modern urban table suitable for a contemporary space. To comfortably suspend the slab onto the leather sling, the edges were shaped to mould into the leather. Turning them inside out and positioning it down the centre of the table ensured that the detail of the natural live grain of the original edges were not lost.
New double butt leather, shaped and moulded around the contours of the trestles, complements and beautifully frames the wooden slab. Black wax cord stitching rounds off this ensemble to match the matt powder coated legs.
