Bridge Extension Table, Large Adaptable Table, Black
Bridge Extension Table, Large  Adaptable Table 
Bridge Table (2006) is a fine example of how his products are imbued with both functional necessity and feeling. Borrowing from some of the world's most graceful bridges, the frame of this table arcs underneath the elliptical tabletop, creating ample legroom as well as the signature look of this piece. To extend the Bridge Table, simply unlock the top's latches, slide the sides apart and insert the leaves, which fit seamlessly into place Mixing materials is one of the cornerstones of Nordic design, and the Adaptable Table takes that tradition one step further by allowing you to mix materials as you wish. This is a table that adapts to your interior and taste, rather than the other way around. TAF's work has been exhibited at MoMA in New York and the Swedish National Museum in Stockholm

British designer Michael Young has spent 15 years strengthening the connection between modern design and the technical abilities of manufacturers in Asia. Designed to coordinate with the Lancaster Chair, the Lancaster Dining Table features legs and tabletop in solid ash, harvested from fallen timber near Lancaster, PA (thus the name of the table), and die-cast aluminum accents available in polished or matte finish. “I am passionate about natural materials that live forever,” says Young. “The wood creates a softer edge, whilst the aluminum keeps it sophisticated.” Versatility and value distinguish the Tavola Glass Table (2003) from other dining or work surfaces. Expertly crafted by an established Italian manufacturer, the Tavola features a thick tempered-glass top suspended above a powder-coated steel frame on eight cubic pillars
