its originality lies in the subtle dynamism arising from the contrast between the tubular metal structure and the dark walnut. the tubing, in bleu nuit, forms a light and airy framework above the top, thus creating animation and a tension in which each element enhances the other. the blue lacquered base generates an asymmetry that enhances the table ''like a painting in its frame''.

for this ''eco-design'' table, form and material are inseparable, the ultimate aim being to highlight the warmth and nobility of the material. it could fit perfectly into a project entitled, ''une forme, 3 essences, 8 finitions'' (''one shape, 3 species, 8 finishes'')! low table with assembled solid wood structure and top in 12mm thick toughened ''cristal'' glass with tapered edges.

a model patented by pierre paulin on 26th february 1959 under the number 90523 (although it seems to have been marketed earlier than this), its purity makes it a timeless low table which is today highly sought after by admirers. it was one of the most attractive designs he was to produce for thonet france, with whom he worked between 1952 and 1959.
the 8mm thick upper sheet of toughened glass is ridged with fine stripes ; the 6mm thick lower glass is acid-frosted on its upper face (silky feel). the base is in black-stained solid ash, assembled at differing angles to achieve a purposeful, elegant shape. the juxtaposition of the two elements forms a unique pattern, the effect of which is further reinforced when viewed from above, amplifying the asymmetry.
