*New Product Launch - The Together Table*

Studioilse designs places and objects that add meaning and shape to our lives. Our furniture brings people together. Joining the family of Seating for Eating, (settles, benches and stools), is our Together table, an extendable piece where there's always a place for unexpected guests. The table, made in solid chestnut with copper trim and feet, sits comfortably with Seating for Eating or independently holds its own. When unextended, the table is rectangular, hiding the rounded drop leaves underneath. The rounded ends invite people to move up and get snug. A table to eat, drink, work or play.

Made in solid chestnut, using sustainable resources, the table has copper feet, with copper trim on the tabletop. Unextended, the table seats 6-8, and extended around a dozen. The Together table and Seating for Eating reflect Studioilse and De La Espada’s commitment to the integrity of natural materials, high quality craftsmanship and products that form a personal relationship with the user.

The Together Table will be shown at The Tramshed Event, EC2, 22nd - 26th September.
