Produktbeschreibung
The NEW MODERN round table in recycled plastic
The NEW MODERN round table in recycled plastic is ideal for 4 to 6 people (108cm diameter). The tabletop is made with hundreds of recycled yoghurt cups. The burst of colours, gold or silver, comes from fragments of yoghurts labels, which gives clues about the plastic’s previous incarnation and makes each tabletop truly unique.
The NEW MODERN table system completes the classic TIPTOE table range by allowing for larger formats (up to 220cm / 86.6 inches), for new shapes (the round table) and also for the use of recycled plastic tabletops (whose lower thickness and relative flexibility are not compatible with the TIPTOE 75cm table legs).
The NEW MODERN table system
A NEW MODERN table is composed of 2 steel tables legs connected together with 2 support bars in stainless steel. The tabletop goes on top of the structure and is screwed to it from below (for larger tables, a crossbar will be placed at the middle of the tabletop for extra support).
NEW MODERN stems from more than a year of hard-work and rigorous testing resulting in one-of-a-kind a modular table system. NEW MODERN combines high functionality and efficient manufacturing while being particularly long-lasting and durable.
The quality of the NEW MODERN system’s design allows for a wide variety of shapes and sizes (from individual desks to XL dining tables to round kitchen tables) and tabletops both in eco-certified wood and recycled plastic.
Durable materials and product lifecycle
Like every TIPTOE product, we designed the NEW MODERN table system while striving the have the least impact on the environment at each step of the product lifecycle.
- Tabletop in recycled plastic made from hundreds of yoghurt cups. The burst of colours, gold or silver, come from fragments of yoghurts labels and lids, which gives clues about the plastic’s previous incarnation and makes each tabletop truly unique.
- Table legs and support bars made of steel : a material known both for its resistance and high recyclability (it’s actually the most recycled material on earth).
- Very few components, all useful, robust and easy to repair or to replace if need be.
- Flatpack delivery allowing for lower environmental impact during storage and shipping. Our packaging is made of at least 80% recycled paper.
100% European manufacturing
Since the very beginning, we chose to manufacture all our products in Europe along with partners known for their exceptional know-how and craftsmanship.
Our NEW MODERN recycled plastic tabletops are made in the UK, the steel table legs are made in Bulgaria while all mechanical and assembly parts are made in our family factory based in France near Chamonix.
The final assembly of our products is carried out in an French “ESAT”, a protected center whose mission is to promote and develop the social and work integration of persons with disabilities.
We strive to build long-term and positive relationships with every partner across Europe that we picked for their unique expertise.
Our designers’ job : combining function, esthetics and sustainability
The name NEW MODERN is a tribute to the “Modern” movement that profoundly marked the history of architecture and furniture design (mainly from the 50’s to the 80’s) with the making of minimal, beautiful, highly-functional and long-lasting furniture.
Since 2015, we have been inspired by this philosophy to design functional, adaptable and minimalistic furniture while adding an essential component to today’s challenges : the sustainability of products and materials.
Through numerous iterations and solving multiple complexities, our in-house design team conceived a system combining elegant simplicity, honest design and remarkable sturdiness.
