A wirework container filled with rock, a technique commonly used in the construction of dams, provides stability for Benjamin Hubert's new Gabion table.

Gabion is a pedestal dining table with an Ash wood table top and a powder-coated steel cage base containing granite ballast that creates the structures stability.
Says Hubert, "Subverting the idea of traditionally hiding ballast in pedestal tables, most commonly sandbags, the dining table utilises an overt granite ballast as its focal point within a steel frame with ash surface."
