dimensions: 73 cm x 200 cm x 80 cm

Note: Foster's "Tecno Nomes" office furniture range was never mass-produced; individual items were (and are) manufactured for specific applications for particular clients. Accordingly, such items are EXCEEDINGLY RARE.

"Furniture is like architecture in microcosm"
"... Many critics and users have commented on the appearance of the table's frame, suggesting references such as the lunar landing module.
Actually the influence was a grasshopper with its slim body and long gangly legs.'"
Norman, Lord Foster of Thames Bank
