The SQUARE TABLE was originally designed as a cafeteria dining table for government office canteens in Chandigarh the late 1950s. It's convenient size made it attractive for multi-purpose use subsequently. The legs and crossbars are made of solid teak while the table top is plywood with teak veneer on top and bottom. The plywood table top is enclosed in a solid teak frame with beveled edges. The legs are detachable for convenient flat packing. The SQUARE TABLE is ideal for use in city apartments as a breakfast table, dining table or as a work table.
Wood finish: Natural Teak / Dark Stain / Black Finish
Project Chandigarh is our homage to Indian Modernism, a style and philosophy of making that manifested in Chandigarh in the 1950s. Our re-editions's of these mid-century designs use the same craftsmanship and philosophy of making that was used for three decades in Chandigarh. The nuances and details that make these designs special – finger joints, curvatures, grooves – are retained while improving the pieces structurally and materially. The natural rattan cane used for the seats and backs are peeled and woven by hand, by highly skilled weavers just like in the vintage pieces.
