mih massiv t-1625
Beat Waeber, 2021
mi massiv teilt seine puristische Geometrie mit dem mi. Sein Massivholz führt aber zu einer anderen Ästhetik der Tischplatte, auch bedingt es eine leicht andere Konstruktion. Während das Schälfurnier des mi die Zeichnung eines Stammes grossflächig zeigt, wird das Bild der Tischplatte beim mi massiv aus einzelnen Riftbrettern so zusammengefügt, dass eine schöne Zeichnung entsteht. Die hohe Qualität des Holzes lässt sich an den geradezu senkrechten Jahresringen an der 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.
mih massiv shares its puristic geometry with mih. Its solid wood, together with a slightly different construction, however, achieves different aesthetics in the table top. Whereas the rotary-cut veneer of mih reveals the pattern of a trunk over a large area, mih massiv's table top is joined from individual quartersawn boards to create a wonderful pattern. 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 frame highlights its visual claim.
Table with solid legs, 59/59mm wide, tapered to 40mm, solid wood frame 70mm high, undercut table top solid wood, upsloped, 18mm incl. H-beam of solid wood height 110
