Discussion. Sharing ideas. Collective decisions. From ancient legend to modern business, the round table has been a metaphor for all these things. Now, a new round table is joining the Boss Design range with an elegant, timeless aesthetic that suits both modern work environments and high-end hospitality spaces.
The inspiration behind Brooke is a simple one. A circle, nature’s perfect form, is not just the tabletop but is repeated in the tapering cone-shaped base that supports the surface. Comfortable, inviting, unobtrusive – it’s a form that welcomes you to the discussion, facilitating natural eye contact with everyone seated at the table.
Brooke’s rounded, graphic silhouette is so adaptable it will complement a variety of meeting, task and executive seating. Oval and oblong tabletop options bring the design into the boardroom space, where its curves suite in perfectly with Uma, our luxurious new executive chair.
A steel plate at the base of the cone gives it stability to match its well-grounded yet unobtrusive looks. No legs, frame or corners mean there’s no clash with chairs or limbs, but there is plenty of room for feet under the table. Inside the pressed plywood cone, a central steel tube and top plate support a surface that can be specified in a range of materials. Power units and data cables are concealed in the cone, keeping things tidy and adding to the versatility of the design across meeting, collaborative and boardroom spaces.
With a shorter base, Brooke becomes a coffee table, effortlessly transitioning to into breakout, waiting and hospitality areas. Lacquered or stained, the plywood cone brings wood grain textures into the setting for a natural feel. Or the base can be upholstered to suite in with modular sofas like Beau or Atom. Specified at two different heights and arranged in a waterfall or caterpillar configuration, overlapping coffee tables can become a fascinating focal point in a hospitality landscape.
If Brooke’s gentle, rounded form appeals to the eye, its detail and finishing are of next-level quality. The surface is available in a standard range of materials including laminate, veneer and Fenix. Alternatively, it can be specified in stone, ceramic or recycled waste plastic. The table’s character can be fine-tuned even further with a squared, reverse chamfer or bullnose edge. And because the cone is constructed from two half cones drawn together, a slight bevel where they meet creates an interesting witness line – another subtle detail to discover when you experience Brooke close-up.
Shipping, assembly and maintenance are made simple with straightforward allen key fixings. This simplifies disassembly – whether for refurbishment or for end-of-life recycling. The FSC-certified and traceable plywood is 100% recyclable, as are Brooke’s steel components.
