Needle-like steel legs, seamlessly joined to a tabletop of uni-directional layered carbon fibre. This material is usually hidden in the interior structure
of Formula One racing cars; here the designers Terence Woodgate and John Barnard
bring it to our attention in this incredibly slick table and chair.
The carbon fibre is incredibly strong; when first showcased,
the table was displayed supporting a racing car. The dripped oil aesthetic of
the legs and the 2mm thickness of the table - incredible!
I saw this at Established & Sons, Wenlock Road N1.
Their working studio/showroom is open this weekend as part of London Design Festival.
