The pantagruel is a fixed seating and table solution that is designed to enhance social interaction. People sitting at a traditional straight table are restricted to interact with the persons left, right and in front of them. The Pantagruel is designed in a round shape, this facilitates interaction between all users. The pantagruel is equipped with a lazy-susan, this turning/sharing element integrated in the table-surface, stimulates interaction between the users.
In the Pantagruel H.O.T. wood is applied for the seating and table surface, this wood is an European PEFC alternative for tropical woods. H.O.T. wood is a thermal treated and enhanced wood, resulting in a durability upgrade to level of class I tropical wood. H.O.T. wood is PEFC-certified, this guarantees a sustainably managed forest.
