Delicate metal legs, directly connected to a lisocore® lightweight panel, achieve their final stability through a direct tensile and compressive structure and by being fastened to the tabletop. The plastic connectors can be printed on any 3D printer. The lisocore® tabletop consists of at least two thin outer layers, interconnected by a three-dimensional, honeycomb-like core structure. This ultra-lightweight high-performance material boasts extremely high flexibility and strength with minimal material usage.
The distinctive design arises from the visible honeycomb structure of the tabletop at the edge and the extremely delicate yet load-bearing base, which emphasizes the table's lightness. When disassembled, it can be packed or stored very flat. A table with a light touch, integrated features, and consistent design.
6 kg of metal, 0.2 kg of plastic, a lightweight tabletop with a 50% weight reduction, easy manufacturing and assembly, as well as minimal packing size and weight with maximum stability, make the multifunctional table system a cost-effective and sustainable product.
