Escritoire Trestle by Ett la Benn

DMY Berlin 09: designers Oliver Bischoff and Danilo Durler of Berlin studio Ett la Benn presented a small trestle table at Made in Berlin last week as part of DMY Extended.

Steel connecting elements on each leg component interlock, forming a trestle support.

A wooden slab with a corresponding steel plate along one edge slots into the gap between the first two components and creates a cantilevered table top.

Alternatively, two trestles can be used to support a much larger table top.

Intended as a writing desk or side table, the piece of furniture is made of powder-coated steel and solid walnut, oak, cherry or maple.
