As protection of the global environment has become a major issue, there has been an increasing demand for recyclable and sustainable manufacturing.
The “nel” series with its steel construction, includes meeting tables available in a variety of sizes and heights and a range of coffee table designs.
The steel construction, with no plastics, makes the entire range 100% recyclable without disassembly. Being plastic free, it is delivered in cardboard and paper packaging.
Utilizing the workability and rigidity of steel, the range of designs are both delicate yet bold in a way that cannot be achieved using other materials.
“nel” to avoid the feeling of steel has subtle design details applied throughout. The entire range, with seamless welding, is visually appealing.
The tabletop edge achieves this seamless feel through the sheet metal spinning process. It does not feel like steel to the touch.
The hollow tabletop significantly reduces the raw materials used and weight. The thin tabletop in combination with your desired base will create a beautiful appearance. The “nel” meeting table blends into any space while the coffee table is an accent piece.
