The design combines industrial functionality with the clean, technically sophisticated aesthetic of the 1950s. The generously sized work surface is infinitely adjustable in tilt and height via the solid hydraulic base. An integrated drawing machine with parallel guides enables precise technical drawing, while the original work lamp provides optimal illumination.

the conical cast iron base with foot pedal is particularly striking, giving the table its distinctive appearance and ensuring maximum stability. The combination of aluminum, steel, and a coated drawing surface lends the piece an authentic industrial aesthetic. Originally designed for architects, engineers, and technical offices, the table is equally suitable today as an exceptional desk or collector's item for enthusiasts of industrial design.

the table bears the original manufacturer's label from nike eskilstuna, sweden, as well as the dealer's plaque from grab wildi ag zurich and urdorf.
