The T08 table is one of the “five-centimeter” tables and a fine illustration of the pragmatism of Pierre Chapo, who designed a long, narrow table to ensure it would be versatile. The T08 frees up ample space around it, enabling diverse and multiple seating options. The table’s sobriety and geometrical balance fit perfectly with the rectangular legs and the top. By lodging the legs in the top, all the way up to the surface, Pierre Chapo managed to avoid the clunky aesthetic of the band that would have been required if the leg tenons had been hidden by the top.
