PYRAMID COFFEE TABLE 51
Created to be adaptable, light and strong, the Pyramid Tables are the last word in cutout sheet steel construction. Originally created by Wim Rietveld while working at Ahrend in the 1950s, the collection has been relaunched by HAY together with Ahrend. When initially launched in the ‘50s, it was regarded as a triumph in its innovative use of sheet steel, giving new direction for use in organically shaped products. Today, both as individual pieces and as a collection, it is notable for its sparing use of materials, simplistic construction and for being light enough to move around. These lasting designs manifest functional excellence and aesthetical lightness that have been proved in real environments over several generations. Its uncluttered design and hardwearing quality make it suitable for being used in a wide variety of restaurants and cafés. Available in a variety of wood finishes and base colours.
