Featuring gentle curves and vibrant, earthy colours, the round Circo Dining Table adds a touch of colourful elegance to indoor and outdoor spaces. A design by Sebastian Herkner, the table is an ode to Colombia's vibrancy and passion for colours. The piece combines a metal table top with a powder coated steel frame in matching shades.
Each table is made in Santa Marta, a city on the Caribbean coast of Colombia, by local craftspeople. The steel frame is fire galvanised to protect the material from rust and corrosion by bathing it in molten zinc. Afterwards, the frame is powder coated with a coloured lacquer. Just the preparation of all the materials takes 20 days, while the production of each table takes two days.
