Longo Gordo Strato Zürich

The bottom of a cardboard box served as the inspiration for the basic idea of the tables. The individual panels, with their all-round 45-degree edges supported by inserted aluminum slats, provide the stability of the tabletop. The multi-layer panels (layering of 3 mm) made of solid wood emphasize the clear and simple structure of the table. The top view is defined by the interlocked, windmill-like arrangement of the individual panels. The layering of the individual sheets is also evident in the sideboard, in which the top layer consists of anodized aluminum (3 mm). The assembly and disassembly of the tables and the sideboard follow the same principles. Simple, comprehensible, and without tools, the individual elements plugged together by means of slats within a very short time.
