Originally inspired by the traditional skills of Japanese bamboo craftmanship, Stefan Diez’s Boa Table translates an organic idea into a contemporary take on the conference table typology.
The tubular frame is made entirely from Hydro CIRCAL aluminium, a recycled aluminium made from a minimum of 75% recycled post-consumer scrap, which is extruded in Denmark using renewable energy.
The aluminium is converted into flexible industrial aluminium profiles that are bent into place during assembly, providing a lightweight, agile solution with a flat-packed design.
”The Boa Table is one of the most original design projects I have ever worked on, and it really revolutionises the conference-table typology. Where most conference tables are heavy and unwieldy, Boa is light and sleek, and easy to put together. It’s one of the most important products we have ever made because, to put it simply, it fulfils every single one of our design values: it is original, relevant, responsible, simple, and beautiful."
Rolf Hay, Co-Founder and Creative Director of HAY
Customisable tabletops are offered in linoleum, laminate, wood or glass, with the frames available in multiple colours and sizes.
Furthermore, the Boa Table can be supplemented with power supply and cable storage accessories for adaption to a wide range of professional environments.
