“The Ban Table was designed to explore structural tension — the way curved steel can support mass while still feeling light.
The three steel plates create a quiet rhythm beneath the top, almost like a tripod in motion. I wanted a table that felt architectural, but still warm enough to gather around.”
— Kirk Van Ludwig
Designed as a gathering point — a table that feels equally at home in a private dining room or a contemporary boardroom.
Material Study
Solid American black walnut is finished with natural oil and wax, allowing the grain to remain tactile and alive.
The base is formed from curved blackened steel plates, creating structural movement beneath the top while maintaining visual lightness.
The Steel Structure
Three curved blackened steel plates support the table, creating structural tension while maintaining visual lightness.
The geometry allows the mass of the solid wood top to appear to float.
