The new Rolf Benz 8830 dining table, with its 40 millimetre-thick solid wooden table top that stands on slightly curved aluminium pedestals, is an impressive sight. Designer Norbert Beck has created the permanently-displayed table top in a dynamic, rustic look that creates an equally dynamic contrast to the modern aluminium pedestals. To create a particularly authentic appearance, the table top is oiled, giving it a silky, smooth surface that enhances the table’’s haptic appeal.
The elm wood used has a very lively grain in warm shades of brown. The solid table top, with the dynamic interplay of light and dark surfaces, as well as the smoothing-off of larger knots, looks very old, even almost ancient. In combination with the aluminium pedestals, the effect is highly modern. Other types of wood available include oak, stained in accordance with the Rolf Benz stain chart, as well as American walnut.
