Brand: ClassiConDesign: Herzog & de MeuronModel: Volkshaus Side TableThe Volkshaus Side Table by Herzog & de Meuron for ClassiCon is part of the Volkshaus furniture collection, which also includes a lounge chair and stool. The series is defined by its sculptural construction in solid wood and its distinctive architectural character.A key design element of the collection is the complex frame structure composed of intersecting X-shaped square timber elements. These wooden legs interlock at a central point, creating a joint that appears visually simple but is the result of an intricate and carefully developed construction process.Inspired by traditional wooden joinery found in Japanese architecture, this ingenious structural solution gives the furniture its sculptural presence while highlighting the beauty and precision of the material.Due to the asymmetrical arrangement of the wooden elements, the table appears slightly different from every angle, giving the piece a dynamic and architectural identity.The Volkshaus series was originally developed for the Volkshaus Basel boutique hotel, redesigned by Herzog & de Meuron, from which the collection takes its name. The furniture is ideal for relaxed yet sophisticated interiors, including living spaces, lounges, waiting areas, hotel rooms, and lobbies.Materials:Frame and tabletop: Solid oak with clear varnishGliders: Brown felt glidersDimensions:Diameter 50 × H 48 cm(Ø 19.7 × H 18.9 in)Concept:The Volkshaus collection explores the expressive potential of traditional wood construction techniques within a contemporary architectural language.
