The base of this table by Japanese designer Kazunaga Sakashita was inspired by trestles found in factories and on construction sites.
Japanese designer Kazunaga Sakashita updated the archetypal trestle table support to make it suitable for use in the home or office, reproducing it in curving tubular steel.
“The trestle in a factory or construction site is very functional, and there are various ways to use it,” said the designer. “Because the top board is only placed on the trestle, you can make it suitable for the space by changing the material and size of the top board,”
A horizontal bar supports the table surface at each end, supported by one angled leg in its centre and a second bar that extends down from one end, along the floor and back up.
A diagonal strut between the bar on the floor and the angled leg stabilises the structure.
The trestle legs are treated with a soft-touch urethane coating which is exposed to ultraviolet rays to give it a hard finish.
An oak top is pictured in combination with the trestles, but Sakashita suggested that the material and size of the surface could be specified by the user.
Sakashita is currently producing the trestles himself while seeking a manufacturer.
Because the top board is only place on the trestle, you can use it in a use suitable for the space by changing material and the size of the top board.

Japanese design studio Nendo has created a range of chairs with wood grain patterns printed onto natural timber for a forthcoming solo show in Milan.
Nendo‘s series features six chairs, each one mixing a different combination of wood and printed grain.
The Print-chairs feature two square wooden panels atop four legs connected by two pieces of interlocking metal. The simplicity of the design highlights the intricate series of patterns the Japanese studio has printed onto the seat and back rest of the chairs.
“We experimented with different degrees of combination,” said the designers. “For some seats we layered two different woodgrain patterns, and for others printed enlarged, abstracted woodgrain patterns onto the existing pattern.”
In one example, the studio printed an enlargement of a grain typically found in a single piece of wood onto one with a finer grain. The result is a distorted perspective with the viewer uncertain of which grain is indigenous to the wood and which has been superimposed.
In another instance, the team changed the angle of the original grain and printed it over the existing one.
“We also experimented with other materials, printing a marble pattern onto the wood,” said Nendo.
Nendo also experimented with colour in the series. In one chair, a pale palette typically found in woods such as pine and birch gradually fades into deeper shades such as those seen in mahogany and teak.
“Thanks to printing technology we could make fine adjustments like the scale, density and colours over and over, bringing out the charm and attraction of natural materials from a variety of angles,” Nendo said.
In perhaps the most extreme combination, Nendo created a chair out of chipboard and then printed a grain over the top.
The six chairs will be exhibited at the studio’s solo exhibition Works by Nendo at Via delle Erbe 2 in Milan’s Brera district, during the city’s design week in April.
Other items to feature in the show include glass furniture patterned with visible brush strokes.
Photographs are by Hiroshi Iwasaki.
