Elegance meets stability. The timeless design of our Y-table series can be used in diverse applications. The Y-tables were originally developed as fine and practical furnishings for work, studio and conference spaces. However their potential goes far beyond that and does not stop at public and prestigious but applies to formal and private contexts as well.
The Modulor Table Y5 consists of a black frame and a linoleum table top in anthracite. The top has a 25° beveled edge and a 50 mm corner radius. All metal components of the frame are made of steel and have a durable, textured powder coating that is easy to clean.
Modulor Y5 table with effective table frame
The special appeal of the table lies in the construction of its frame. The rails do not follow the contour of the tabletop. Instead they are offset toward the middle. This creates the illusion that the table top is floating in place. The slender, round and inclined (30°) table legs support the lightness and finesse of this effective overall construction. Only from far away or by looking under the tabletop is the thoughtful and effective interaction between table top and legs revealed.
The clever base: Frame and connectors
The frame, located in the center of the table, contributes to the floating table top effect. A connector is hidden on either end of the frame. These connectors are the namesake of the tables series and have a Y shape. This is what specifies the direction and placement of the table legs. This in turn allows them to be mounted on the free ends of the connectors. The lengthwise play of 5 cm can be used to vary the distance between the legs and table top as desired. The table legs themselves have height adjusters on them that ensure the table is firmly on the ground. The Y5's high secondary stability comes from the screw fitting of the frame and top.
Timeless design: Black frame and linoleum table top in anthracite
The minimalistic design of the Y-table doesn't just stem from its pared down and clever styling. Largely responsible for the elegant appearance is the high quality MDF table top with linoleum surface in anthracite and the black frame. The open panel edges lend a raw and unfinished look. The whole thing comes together with fine edge grinding and evenly colored MDF - so-called Valchromat. Consequently, both the 25° beveled edges and the 50 mm corner radius lead to the floating effect of the table frame. Both betray the stable and robust characteristics of the table and support the impression of a floating, feather-light table top.
