Histoire:
La table T 08, qui fait partie des meubles dits “en cinq centimètres” illustre bien le pragmatisme de Pierre Chapo qui dessine une table longue et étroite, assurant ainsi une grande polyvalence à l’élément.
La table T 08 libère un espace important autour d’elle, permettant de diversifier et multiplier les assises. La sobriété et l’équilibre géométrique de l’ensemble sont en parfaite adéquation avec les figures rectangulaires des pieds et du plateau.
En inscrivant entièrement les pieds dans le plateau, au point de le traverser, le créateur évite d’alourdir l’esthétique générale de la table avec un système de ceinture indispensable si les tenons des pieds avaient été camouflés par le plateau.

History
The T 08 table is one of the “five-centimeter” tables and a fine illustration of the pragmatism of Pierre Chapo, who designed a long, narrow table to ensure it would be versatile.
The T 08 frees up ample space around it, enabling diverse and multiple seating options. The table’s sobriety and geometrical balance fit perfectly with the rectangular legs and the top. By lodging the legs in the top, all the way up to the surface, Pierre Chapo managed to avoid the clunky aesthetic of the band that would have been required if the leg tenons had been hidden by the top.
