The Roundel Material Table celebrates circular shapes in a number of ways, including with the form of the top and the three different discs into which it is divided, which can be made with a range of colours and/or materials in order to mark out separate areas of use. With its highly sculpturesque qualities, Roundel is almost like a piece of pottery and it can be used in extremely democratic arrangements and layouts because round tables present no sense of hierarchy and they facilitate maximum eye contact between all of the people sitting around them. The Roundel Material Table and Roundel Glass Table was designed by Claesson Koivisto Rune in 2018 and is produced by Baleri Italia.
