NVL Table

A table made from only one material with contemporary lines that convey strong personality. NVL Table is the second project, after Super_Position, created by the French designer Jean Nouvel for MDF Italia and that takes the name literally. The distinctive traits of its architecture manifest fully in this table to highlight stylistic elements that have always distinguished the works of Jean Nouvel: pure geometric shapes, formal lightness, graphic marks, and rigour.

The simplicity of the shapes plays harmoniously on the contrast with the solidity of the material: the table top appears thin and light and seems to float above the base.
The central support consists of two volumes that are tapered on the upper part to create two symmetrical bases that support the top. The effect recalls a trilithon, a structure formed from two vertical elements and a third positioned horizontally on top.
