The Big Table By Alain Gilles
By Jeffrey Hyatt
I’m not going to lie and say I didn’t think of the ‘Big Salad’ episode of Seinfeld when I decided to spotlight Alain Gilles’ Big Table, which he designed for Italian furniture brand Bonaldo in Milan last year. With legs made of laser cut and folded steel plates, the fixed table is available in two sizes, with a choice of finishes.
The top of the Big Table is available in glass or wood. All the legs have a different width, and have been cut and bent in order to reveal different tonalities of their own color, in order to play with shadows. Gilles notes that ‘whatever the angles, it always looks strikingly different from one point of view to another, as if you could never really grab it.’ If ever a need to fill a room – look to the Big Table.
