Berlin-based studio Läufer & Keichel has created a solid wood table for furniture manufacturer Zeitraum that features undulating legs designed to look like curtain drapes.
The Curtain table features two thin legs with soft curves that have been crafted from solid wood, which support a large solid wood table top.
Designers Julia Läufer and Marcus Keichel created the legs using the latest computer numerical control (CNC) technology, which uses a machine to process a piece of material according to specifications pre-set via a digital coded program.
Following the CNC cutting, the wavy forms are then sanded by hand and oiled to emphasise their "flowing movement".
Manufactured by German wood-furniture brand Zeitraum, the Curtain table is available with a rectangular table top or a semicircular table top.
It can be made in either ash, walnut or oak wood up to four metres long while still boasting a continuous wood grain.
Refraining from the use of any chemically treated wood, Zeitraum's furniture pieces are each protected with a coat of natural oil, which is applied to smoothly sanded surfaces to create a "silken" effect.
The applied oil penetrates the wood to a minimum depth of two millimetres, naturally preserving the surfaces and allowing the wood to breathe, absorb and release humidity, which cannot be achieved by polished and sealed surfaces.
