Most tables are drawn as a top with legs underneath. NoTable is drawn the other way round, around a single component: a cylindrical steel tube, 80 mm in diameter, to which everything else connects. Cast aluminium bases, the footrest beam and the longitudinal bars all arrive at the same column, under tops in oak or American walnut.
That is not a detail for the technical annexe, and here is why it matters: the joints come in two, three and four-way versions at different angles, so the geometry of the room stops being a constraint. A table that has to follow a boardroom with an awkward corner, or grow by a metre when the department does — or rise to standing height on the NoTable HA version —, is assembled from the same catalogue rather than made to measure from scratch. Manufactured by ICF in Vignate, near Milan. La Mercanti works through the configuration with the room plan on the table.
