NVL Table
Architonic ID: 20162433
Year of Launch: 2020
New glossy lacquered blue navy finish.
A table made from only one material with contemporary lines that convey strong personality.
The distinctive traits of its architecture manifest fully in this table to highlight stylistic elements that have always distinguished the works of Jean Nouvel: pure geometric shapes, formal lightness, graphic marks, and rigour.
The simplicity of the shapes plays harmoniously on the contrast with the solidity of the material: the table top appears thin and light and seems to float above the base.
The central support consists of two volumes that are tapered on the upper part to create two symmetrical bases that support the top. The effect recalls a trilithon, a structure formed from two vertical elements and a third positioned horizontally on top.
Structure and surfaces
The bases and undertop flange are made of moulded high density rigid polyurethane joined together with a mechanical fastener.
Each base has a closing plate and internal anti-tilt weight in moulded cast iron, epoxy powder coated in matt black, with specific places for slides and felt pads.
The 25 mm top in medium density fibreboard closes the table’s “monolithic” look, with a snap clip and hidden points for fastening to the flange below. The point in which the two parts join creates an elegant rebate, which is a very pleasant technical/aesthetic detail.
Dimensions and types
Each table mounts bases of different sizes and types (see following page): round model in the diameters 150 or
180 cm, or oval model W200, W250 or 300, are also available. Table height, 74 cm.

Concept
A table made from only one material with contemporary lines that convey strong personality. NVL Table is the second project, after Super_Position, created by the French designer Jean Nouvel for MDF Italia and that takes the name literally. The distinctive traits of its architecture manifest fully in this table to highlight stylistic elements that have always distinguished the works of Jean Nouvel: pure geometric shapes, formal lightness, graphic marks, and rigour.
The simplicity of the shapes plays harmoniously on the contrast with the solidity of the material: the table top appears thin and light and seems to float above the base.
