# Impeccably Precise Aluminium Tables Pelle's Design is an Experiment That Relies on Balance By Kalin Ned | Published 2019-11-28 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aluminium-tables References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2019/11/26/dvn-table-pelle-aluminium-design/) & [pelledesigns](http://pelledesigns.com/) The image of aluminium tables conjures either a conventional and cost-effective product or a contemporary industrial-style design. However, [Pelle's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poltrona-frau-2) product boldly defies both of those categories. The New York City-based studio dared to experiment in the name of transcending repetitiveness in design. The goal was not only to create a stylish product but also to come up with "innovative manufacturing and hand craftsmanship [techniques]." Unlike most traditional or modern aluminium tables, Pelle's version pays particular attention to balance and precision. The low-lying silhouette of the piece features "solid aluminium that [was] milled to a tolerance of one-thousandth of an inch." To bind it, the studio utilized "[traditional Japanese joinery techniques](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barricane-tables)." Dubbed the DVN Table, the furniture piece is essentially "held together by friction."
