The Glas Italia Compression table by Philippe Starck is part of a striking series of rectangular dining tables defined by the interplay of transparent glass, solid wood, and polished metal. The table features a 19mm transparent glass top supported by a base in 24mm tempered transparent glass, creating a sense of visual lightness and structural clarity.
At the heart of the design is a solid oak beam, crafted from a single thick piece of wood. It traverses inclined, edge-cut holes in the glass base sheets, uniting and supporting them with precision. Polished chromed metal wedges are inserted into tapered holes in the wooden beam, anchoring the glass elements securely and ensuring maximum stability and solidity.
For the oak beam there are two refined natural finishes to choose from; deeply brushed & wax-finished or charred through a traditional heat treatment. The feet and top supports are crafted in polished chromed metal, adding a final touch of refinement to this seamless composition of materials.
Available in six different sizes this stunning table will certainly create a talking point in any dining space.
