Elegance meets stability. The timeless design of our Y-table series can be used in diverse applications. The Y-tables were originally developed as fine and practical furnishings for work, studio and conference spaces. However their potential goes far beyond that and does not stop at public and prestigious but applies to formal and private contexts as well.
The Modulor Table Y6 consists of legs made from massive and clear varnished ash and a multiplex table top with smoke gray linoleum surface. The top has a 25° beveled edge and a 50 mm corner radius. The steel components of the frame are painted black and build the robust base together with the solid wood legs.
Modulor Y6 table with effective table frame
The special appeal of the table lies in the construction of its frame. The rails do not follow the contour of the tabletop. Instead they are offset toward the middle. This creates the illusion that the table top is floating in place. The slender, semicircular and slightly inclined (10°) legs support the lightness and finesse of this effective overall design. Only from far away or by looking under the tabletop is the thoughtful and effective interaction between table top and legs revealed.
The clever base: Frame and connectors
The frame, located in the center of the table, contributes to the floating table top effect. A connector is hidden on either end of the frame. These connectors are the namesake of the tables series and have a Y shape. This is what specifies the direction and placement of the table legs. This in turn allows them to be mounted on the free ends of the connectors. The lengthwise play of 5 cm can be used to vary the distance between the legs and table top as desired. The table legs themselves have integrated height adjusters that ensure. the table is firmly on the ground. The Y6's high secondary stability comes from the screw fitting of the frame and top.
Timeless design: Ash frame and smoke gray linoleum table top
The minimalistic design of the Y-table doesn't just stem from its pared down and clever styling. Largely responsible for the elegant appearance are the high quality multiplex table top with linoleum surface in smoke gray and the natural ash frame. The bright and warm combination of the ask table legs, multiplex top and smoke gray linoleum give the massive table some jauntiness. The same is true for the 25° beveled edge and the 50 mm corner radius. These special characteristics support the impression of a floating, feather-light table top. The stable and robust table appears to be feather light.
