Norma is a poetic structure of sanded stainless steel. There is no table top, only 7 frail legs that form the basis for a romantic tête-à-tête: 2 plates, 2 cups, 1 wine bucket and 2 holders for napkins or candles. Crockery and construction become inseparable. And maybe the eaters too.

Marilyn

“Who do you want to sit down with for an evening” I started from Marilyn Monroe and her two faces: the side the whole world knows, grand, voluptuous, overwhelming, a superstar and the side hardly anyone ever saw. The real Marilyn: Norma Jean Baker. Soft, introverted, almost a gray mouse. The word “hardly” floated to the surface. So I set to work with the idea that I would design “hardly a table”. And so Norma was created, a composition rather than a table.

Feature

The crockery is mounted on a rod that slides into the legs of the table, so it is removable and also washable!
