Atelier Viollet recently completed a sleek dining table featuring a walnut burl top and a base in mirror polished stainless steel, designed by the studio of world-renowned architect Peter Marino. Burl veneer derives from trees that have grown in some deformed manner, caused by injury, virus, or fungus. These unusual growth patterns lead to highly distinct and figured wood grains, which are prized for their beauty and rarity.One unique aspect of this table is its custom-engineered extension slide system, specifically created to accommodate a sleek no-apron design while maintaining the highest standards of structural integrity.
