Presence
2015 / 2018
An archetypical long table that can be tailored to almost any length. The mixed materials of the table’s surface create a pattern within the object whilst illustrating the table’s modularity. The table is constructed from solid wood base and tops of wood and Larvikitt, a stone unique to Norway from the Lundhs quarry in Larvik.
The essence of the project was to create a modern and robust long table. To make this possible the object has to consist of several tops and set of leg modules. This is enhanced by composing contrasting materials on the surface and support it on a modular base with robust yet minimal proportions.
Developed to accompany the Presence table the bench is available in three sizes which all fits underneath the table. A versatile and robust piece for any dining area or even as a bedside table.
The table was the first collaboration between Thomas Jenkins and Sverre Uhnger and was first showcased as a prototype for Norwegian Presence in Milan 2015. Since 2018 it has been in the collection of Objekt (NO).
