Chalkedon High Work Table

Chalkedon is a high work table drawn for quick stand-up meetings and shared work in an open office. The thick oak top ends in a softly rounded edge; a slim cable channel runs through the middle, closed by an oak lid that sits flush with the surface. The top rests on two solid oak trestle frames that splay gently outward at each end, with the joints left visible. Between the frames runs a full-length, low, slatted oak shelf. It takes its name from Chalkedon, the ancient city at Kadıköy in Istanbul. We make it in our factory in Istanbul. The lower shelf holds bags, files and laptops, which keeps the top clear. The cable channel gives a pass-through for screens and chargers. The solid oak surface wipes with a damp cloth and the slatted shelf cleans with a brush. The splayed legs give the table a wide base, so it stands firm. It belongs in the shared area of an office, next to a kitchen or in a corner set up for short stand-up meetings. Oak tone, shelf layout and size are chosen at order. We set the height against the people who will use it and any stools that go with it. Size follows the project.
