ELM TABLE

THE ELM CAFÉ TABLE

ELEVATION

Brownsmith Studios was commissioned by The Elm restaurant to design and build a café table for part of the dining area that was being underutilized. Inspired by Art Nouveau furniture, it was designed as a single cohesive piece that seamlessly flows from top to legs to stretcher. The curved stretcher adds a dynamic visual element while also working to provide lateral stability.
