Designer Joël Dupras created the Auguste table as a tribute to fine woodworking. Each of the trestles consists of four pieces of solid birch wood, assembled by way of glued mortise-and-tenon joints. The trestles are connected by two crossbars and mounted under a ceramic or clear glass top that shows off the sculptural lines of the base. The dovetailed crossbar is visible through the glass top and makes for a striking detail. This elegant table can seat more guests than most—the thoughtful overhang means the legs won’t get in anyone’s way. The Auguste chair couldn’t be more inviting. The body-contoured molded birch plywood back and plush upholstery is the epitome of comfort.
