As consumers and manufacturers alike are acknowledging the benefits of dealing in unassembled furniture, this fancy flat-packed table marks a valuable shift in their design. Sure, it's cheaper and less labor-intensive to produce built-it-yourself products; it's more efficient to ship them, and it's more affordable to buy, yet these objects will always look basic. Cédric Canaud has thus created a line of pedestal tables that can be dressed up with naturalistic textural veneers.
The 'From Guéridon' collection comprises some tall movables made from raw pine panels, cut to have slots for easy assembly. Give these fancy flat-packed tables the illusion of being made from high-quality marble or rich wood grain with options to paper them in realistic designs and ornamental motifs.
