Lebeau Wood
ARCHITECTURE IN WOOD
Lebeau Wood is a spectacular example of a solid
wood table derived from the original table by Patrick Jouin, maintaining the
original size and contours, while transforming the structure with the use of a
new material.
The combination of the dexterity of the Meda artisans and the most
modern CNC machinery led to an extremely innovative construction in which the
base of the table with round top is made up of 22 curved solid wood slats.
The result is an exquisite, versatile design piece of furniture that can
be crafted with support structure in ash wood or canaletto walnut, matched with
top in ash, in the various marble options or in glass.
