mi massiv t-1615
Waeber/Dickenmann, 2011
The high quality of the wood can be gleaned from the nearly vertical tree rings on the table's face. The table top has a floating installation to allow the solid wood to expand and contract.
mi massiv shares its puristic geometry with the mi. Its solid wood, together with a slightly different construction, however, creates a different type of aesthetics in the table top. While the rotary-cut veneer of the mi shows an all-over marking of the trunk, mi massiv's table top is joined from individual quartersawn boards to create a beautiful marking. The high quality of the wood can be gleaned from the nearly vertical tree rings on the table's face. The table top has a floating installation to allow the solid wood to expand and contract. A tiny joint facing the framework highlights its optical claim.
