Blå Station has introduced the ABLE Table at Salone del Mobile 2026 in Milan. This straightforward and strong table design shares a die-cast zinc knot and steel tubing construction with the existing ABLE family. At its core, this silhouette does not overpower a room yet still carries a strong presence, making it excellent for offices, dining rooms, boardrooms, or homes.
The table stands 72 centimetres in height and comes with frames in four standard lengths, each available with two standard tabletop lengths, offering the option of overhang on the short sides or not. Available tabletop shapes include square, rectangular, or round. These are finished
in various materials, while the frames can be chromed or powder-coated in different colors.
A compact single-person workstation version is also available as part of the ABLE Table lineup. This silhouette is designed to be placed by a window or in a quiet corner for focused work. The table can be specified with castors if mobility is needed.
