Trim And Taut

Timber crafting and a celebration of construction define the Taut table designed by Klemens Grund for Zeitraum. Taut is a lightweight slot-together composition of nine parts that is shipped as a flat pack. Traditional connections like swallowtail and wedge joints allow the end user to assemble the table using a rubber mallet and a turning pin. Grund’s objective was to create a lightweight, well crafted and demountable table that is suitable to a variety of life situations. Taut ’s formal clarity and the expression of its joints help to demystify its construction, while its amenity is maximised by its light weight; the table top is particularly thin at just 20 millimetres. Taut is produced in solid ash, oak, American cherry and American walnut. In Singapore, Zeitraum is available from Marquis.
