The Roundel table celebrates circular shapes in a number of ways, including the form of the top and the three different discs into which it is divided, which can be made with a range of colours in order to mark out separate areas of use. With its highly sculptural qualities, Roundel seems almost an handcrafted piece. It can be used in extremely democratic arrangements and layouts: in round tables there is no sense of hierarchy, in fact they facilitate maximum eye contact among all the people sitting around them. A round table with a central leg. The structure of the under-surface section and the central leg are made of rigid polyurethane with either a polished red, white or black lacquered finish. The table top can be made of extra clear tempered glass with concentric red or white circles painted on the underside.
