NIGHTINGALE

Counter table

Design
Nick Pyka

NIGHTINGALE, sublime and unique | Brachial and proud like an old castle gate, the NIGHTINGALE dining table presents itself. A statement by the young designer Nick Pyka. The robust solid oak top rests on a conically tapered, open flat steel frame. The interplay of these contrasting natural materials forms an impressive, powerful unit. The NIGHTINGALE positions itself self-confidently in the old building or in modern architecture.

Qualities and dimensions

rustical

Table tops denoted as “rustic” have visible natural features such as knots or sapwood. Minor dry cracks cannot be ruled out. Knot holes and dry cracks are filled with a graphite-coloured polyester resin. The grinding is fine. The particularly lively table tops made of historical oak are manufactured from oak beams, which previously braved wind and weather in historic buildings. The normally heavily darkened planks are hand-crafted and are characterized by constructive wood penetrations - for example treenails or crossbars - as well as by cracks, knotholes and a partly uneven surface. Sharp-edged holes or cracks are milled off softly. The following versions are possible:

thickness ~4"
height ~93"

~78.7 x 35.4/39.4"
~86.6 x 35.4/39.4"
~94.5 x 35.4/39.4"
~102.4 x 35.4/39.4"
~110.2 x 35.4/39.4"
~118.1 x 35.4/39.4"

RohDesign

Solid wood table boards denoted “RohDesign” are glued from three planks with pronounced hand-carved wood features. Sapwood is removed, while natural features such as swirls in the wood and visible knot holes are specially emphasised. Dry cracks are very likely to occur here. As an option, further cracking can be countered though the incorporation of a handcrafted dovetail. The width varies from approx. 95 cm to approx. 100 cm. These table tops are unique pieces and cannot be reproduced. It cannot be ruled out that in the event of increased heat flows crack formation will increase. RohDesign tops are always delivered with handcrafted wanes. The following versions are possible:
