There are many ways to assemble an [elevated surface](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solis-collection), but you probably wouldn't immediately dream up the way that the #035 Table by Tom Cecil was composed. Technically, it has no legs and no flat horizontal surface, yet it does succeed to assume the role of a table, suited only for items broader than the gaps within it.

The [unique sculptural furnishing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barricane-tables) was constructed on its side and gradually given shape by the arrangement of [several layers of flat sticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vtna-table). Five different models are made from a choice of four materials including cardboard, laminated cardboard, melamine-faced plywood and American maple. Each offers its own aesthetic appeal, but the overall chaotic arrangement of the #035 Table by Tom Cecil remains consistent throughout the collection.
