Compensato

Tables made out of thin layers of plywood, whose curving forms make them more rigid, giving strength and stability to a very simple structure, which is made lighter and more streamlined by the tapering leg design. A construction system initially planned to be dismantled, a striking project which won praise from the great Alvar Aalto, a design which still looks brilliant in for its compositional precision, structural clarity and the clever balance of its defining proportions.
