Designed by Ben Storms

The classic trestle table represents simplicity, mobility and efficiency. With In Vein, Ben Storms subverts this archetypical piece of furniture by giving it a marble top.

Marble as a material carries associations of solidity and weight, that Storms challenges by making it look featherlight. Using a technique called hydro-forming, a sheet of stainless steel is shaped into an organic form using water pressure.This element supports the ultrathin marble top layer and lends strength to the table. This design pushes the boundaries of the material: it might be the lightest marble trestle table ever made.

When one turns the table top around and places it against a wall, it doubles as a mirroring sculptural object.

In Vein received the Henry Van de Velde Label from Design Flanders and won the award ‘Best Contemporary Design Piece’ at PAD Paris.

Variations can be custom made.
