‘keep’ table by petter thörne and anders johnsson

‘keep’ is a dining table crafted from leftover materials of the furniture industry. wood blocks are arranged and held together by metal bands to form the tables. the otherwise to be discarded wood gives the tables character, making each one completely individual. the table was the winning entry in muuto’s 2009 talent award competition for design students, and is the senior project of designers petter thörne and anders johnsson from konstfack school of design in stockholm. ‘keep’ comes in various types of wood and measures: 200,0 x 92,0 x 75,0 cm. the table comes in a limited edition.
