It needs to "click"
At Dutch manufactory Arco almost everything revolves around tables. What makes the new model, called “Trestle”, so special? Jorre van Ast, designer and MD of the family-owned company, explains – in interview with Uta Abendroth.
The innovative character of Bertjan Pot's Slim table has already garnered numerous prestigious awards, including the Dutch Design Award 2007 and the IF Gold Award 2008. The secret to this whisper-thin yet very solid table is its unique steel-sandwich cons
truction, which features a layer of wood. Steel also plays a leading role in ‘Slim Office', which employs the Slim table as a desk: magnets are used to attach all of the functions and accessories to the table and therefore everything can be moved ar
ound. This combination of elegance and high tech innovation presents the utmost freedom and user-friendliness. The quirky design of the Skinny Office chair ties it all together.
