Metronome

Client: Nienkamper

Metronome is a collection of tables built on a structural system that is sculptural, stable, and capable of a broad range of application requirements. From small meeting tables and individual desks to flip top training tables through to large scale boardroom tables and benching, Metronome is a systems driven table collection that easily responds to any working environment.

The name Metronome comes from the idea of keeping time, keeping pace with what’s going on in the working environment. Whether it is meeting and boardroom tables, small meeting tables and partners desks, or storable training tables, the system shares components at every level allowing not only the creation of these varied applications but also a very high degree of reconfigurability allowing an organization to move and evolve without rendering the furniture obsolete.

The frame is inspired by the sculptural results of natural structural forms often found in large buildings, where form is defined by requirements of mass and gravity combining to create balanced and beautiful structures. This approach gives the table it’s visual and structural character. The creation of intelligent connectors linking tubes achieves this end in a very efficient way. Aluminum is the only material used in the frame ensuring a high degree of recycled content, and a complete opportunity for full recyclability for all elements.
