Lamé

Designed by INC Architecture & Design, the Lamé series of nesting, occasional and dining tables characterized by their expressive shapes, a singular material gesture, and structural daring are both simple and sensuous. Named after the mathematician who pioneered curvilinear arithmetics, Gabriel Lamé, the Lamé table series is at once precise and gestural. Developed as functional sculpture, the organic silhouettes of these deceptively simple tables have been rendered with an abstract clarity that is meant to balance natural and nurtured form. Like an ingenious puzzle, each uniquely shaped slab has been carefully sculpted to key into its partners without fasteners to create a balanced whole. The freedom of shape made possible through computer-aided stone cutting, combined with traditional stone carving techniques, lend these artfully realized objects a timely and timeless character. Like sand or earth rendered solid, the subtle shifting movement of the stones selected for these tables in their initial offering work as a foil to the flowing curvaceous lines. The Lamé Table Series, nature nurtured for the interior landscape.
