We made a suitably stylish cubist table based on the expressive form of the beautiful Janák chair. We had relatively little information on how to proceed. The final look of the cubist table was based on a contemporary black and white photograph, where barely a third of the table is visible. In the end we managed to produce a table that clearly belongs to the chairs. Like Janák's chair, it is made of a combination of walnut and beech wood. The top is walnut as standard and finished with a high gloss PU varnish. The base is made of beech wood, finished in a semi-matt lacquer. The table can be used as a working or dining table.

Optional materials:

Wood with finish ash, oak, cherry, walnut, mahogany

Pavel Janák (1882 - 1956) A versatile artist: architect, urban planner, designer and teacher, Pavel Janák was a leading theoretician of the Czech Cubist movement, a proponent of interwar Art Deco and radical Modernism embodied by Functionalism, but also the author of excellent reconstructions of important historical buildings.
