The E8 table is based on an observation of an impromptu composed piece of war time furniture that ended up as a dining table. The long and narrow format allows it to be used as an every-day work and kitchen table, where temporary items such as laptops or paperwork can easily sidestep during meal times. In oak, all surfaces except the top are coloured, using a staining technique that offers saturated and bright colours, while ensuring that the natural texture of the wood remains visible. Unlike lacquer, which scratches off easily, this method allows the table to wear gracefully over time while maintaining the character of the material. In walnut, it is finished with natural vanish to let the wood's beauty shine through.
