The independence of the two parts of this table is highlighted by the four intermediate supports that serve both as level adjusters and as spacers between the bulk of the support and the slender lines of the top. Made for outdoor settings, this outdoor table has a stainless-steel structure with a textured powder-coated finish designed for outdoor use, it comes in several colors. FRAME Painted elliptical section tubular stainless steel. TOP Carrara marble. The core concept for the Table tube d’avion table, introduced in 1929 at the Salon d’Automne, lies in the distinction between the support piece and the piece being supported; in other words, between the base and the top. The separation of the two parts is highlighted by the four intermediate supports that serve both as level adjusters and as spacers between the mass of the support and the slender lines of the top. Specifically, the base was designed in 1928, taking its cue from the oval profiles used in the aeronautical sector to separate the wings of biplanes. The current model also comes in an outdoor version with stainless-steel structure and textured powder-coat finish specifically for outdoor use, in five colours.
