Materials that have failed to impress the fussy are finding themselves playing vital roles in stylish pieces of furniture, and the Extremis Picnik Table is a perfect example of this phenomenon. The picnic table type molded from an industrial metal creates a surprising dining piece that can add to the fashionable quality of a kitchen, a cafe or an outdoor patio.
The reason that this bench and buffet combination work so well is due to the artistry involved with its elegance sculpting. A single sheet of powder-coated aluminum was given dimension with the fluid curving of its rigid surface, and with just two cuts, designers Dirk Wynants and Xavier Lust formed a table top and flanking two seats. The Extremis Picnik Table is small, sleek and succeeds at making casual look classy.
