Big Table

A strong personality that is always in movement, as if it were walking: this is how the Belgian designer Alain Gilles sees the Big Table table, which he has designed for Bonaldo. Big Table is a large, functional table which, although created in traditional materials like steel, wood and glass, is characterised by extremely original design, so much so that the perception of the product changes depending on the angle from which it is viewed. The legs are laser-cut steel plates and each one has a different width that highlights the different shades and nuances. Big Table is available in different colour versions. The rectangular table top can be fixed or extendable. The fixed version, which can also be made to measure, is available in glass, black walnut or – from 2011 – solid European walnut. In the extendable version, the top and extensions are made from a single piece of black walnut veneer in order to ensure continuity in the wood grain between the parts. Big Table won the Good Design Award 2009. For its 10th anniversary, Bonaldo launched a special edition: Big Table 10th Anniversary Special Edition, which has a green marble top with a strong graphic pattern and colours with an extraordinary intensity. The table top is combined with the steel base painted in its same colour, thereby creating a single whole that never ceases to astound and inspire.
