If you are only making 12 tables then it doesn't matter what the material is. These pieces would never work in mass production and that's just the point, they are made from multiple pieces in different colours, that's why they are limited edition pieces no? Barber Osgerby are becoming some of the best designers around, understanding both mass production (Tab light for Flos etc.)and now limited editions. these guys really understand what limited edition furniture is about.

They should have spend there time making it into a mass produceable product, that would have made sense what a waist of material…

Good done, an istant classic. Really nice, the simplicity of the form is made interesting by the colours. Good done, an istant classic.

He could have put in some simple cut outs/ribbing and removed a good percentage of material without changing the outer appearance at all. I'm keen to see a polished alu version too ...
