Able Table

Whether for work or leisure, the Able Table is a versatile table designed to be at the heart of our daily lives. It was developed by Studio Plastique in collaboration with Kluskens Meubelcreaties. The designers and the manufacturer have worked closely together to design a table that remains familiar to us in form and materiality, but innovates in its definition when it comes to position and function in our lives. Able Table supports the various activities that come together at a table in everyday life. In this way, it enables rapid shifts between work, family and leisure. This dynamic is supported by a strong and lightweight second surface; a rattan frame that can be pulled out at both ends as an ideal place for storing objects that remain in pause when changing activities. A wooden table is about trust. It is a warm and timeless material that knows how to host life's moments like no other.

About Studio Plastique

Studio Plastique is a collaboration between designers Archibald Godts and Theresa Bastek. They founded the studio after their studies at the Design Academy Eindhoven. With a shared passion for intercultural research and social themes, their practice strives to forge connections between the past, the present and the future, the reason and the heart, the material and the emotional, the real and the virtual, the human and the machine. In doing so, their work embodies human needs among the rigid structures we are surrounded by in ways that feel obvious or sometimes absurd. This pursuit of empathetic approaches in an increasingly dehumanized world, combined with the necessary rational methodology, results in environments and objects designed to enable human life to flourish, as well as critical responses to contemporary phenomena and visions of future scenarios.
