Hem has debuted the Max Table, designed by Max Lamb and crafted by a small family-run woodworking business in Padua, Italy.
Created to be easy for customers to self-install, the table features a sliding dovetail joint that attaches the legs to the tops, and a hidden screw mechanism that holds the entire construction together. The result is a visually uncomplicated yet elegant design. Crafted from Lightly White Pigmented Ash, the Max suits a range of settings, such as communal working spaces, conference rooms, dining rooms and restaurants.
Max Lamb was asked to create something indestructible, starting with giant, unused core logs. Lamb applied his classical constructivist approach, and his solution shows both technical mastery and flare for the organization of materials.
