konstantin grcic table b for bd barcelona



'TABLE_B' spans a maximum length of 3,5 meters and comes with three optional
substructures in wood, steel or artificial stone.



its apparent simplicity hides a complex technical development in which senior engineers
have been involved. in counterpoint, the production also includes several manual processes.


a wing-like table top using extruded profiles

grcic refers to classic bd pieces, such as the hypóstila shelf unit (in production since 1979),
in developing a tabletop of extruded aluminium with a minimal profile and for lengths of up
to 360 cm. it is offered in various finishes and with three models of legs. suitable for indoor
and outdoor areas.

'for years I have been longing for an opportunity to work with aluminium extrusions
- an industrial technology which combines superior structural properties with an elegantly
sleek aesthetic. I wanted to carry out a project for bd barcelona since the early 80's as I liked
the work by oscar tusquets and lluis clotet.
' - konstantin grcic says.



three versions of legs for the same tabletop.
from top to bottom: stone. wood and steel.
