Carrousel

the tables "Carrousel" & "Cathedral" are the continuation of my story "Triangles in (E)motion".

The three parts of the table can be reconfigured in to different overall shapes to vary seating arrangements; the constant state of change creates a playful atmosphere for the creative office.
