Kartell Rectangular table Natural wood Wood. Dimensions: 240 × 100 cm x H 72 cm. The poetry of wooden combined with technology… The Smart Wood family is growing with the arrival of the Viscount of Wood tables. These tables bring together a wooden tabletop and a steel wire base evoking plant forms. The thin tabletop has rounded corners and edges. Using a unique, patented technology, the wooden is moulded to create a thin tabletop with delicate curves. With the Smart Wood collection, Kartell and Philippe Starck rise to a new challenge: working wooden with the same fluidity as composite materials to give it a new look, full of finesse and curves. The major figures Ray and Charles Eames were the first to experiment with moulding plywooden into complex shapes. More than 50 years later, technological advances have allowed Kartell to offer even more with less. This feat was made possible thanks to unique patented 3D technology that produces wooden curvature in extreme proportions. The moulded wooden adopts incredible, sinuous lines. Claudio Luti, president of Kartell, explains: After years of research, we managed to work the wooden while respecting the nobility of the material. Innovative technology has allowed us to stay true to the industrial characteristics of Kartell's DNA. We thus managed to wholly express the real essence of wooden by combining industrial production with beauty, solidity, comfort and flexibility, all in one product.
