Just as its name suggests, Pal is there whenever you need it. It’s a small,
occasional table that’s movable and easy to access.
For Milan-based, Japanese designer Keiji Takeuchi, simplicity is the path to
sophistication. Seen in Pal’s solid wood table top crafted to resemble a serving
tray and slim stem and base in stainless steel, with the option of a powder-
coated base. Solid wood and well-crafted steel are rich materials that will
acquire a beautiful patina over time. What's more, they blend seamlessly with
other materials and colour schemes in virtually any interior. A variety of table
top sizes and the ability to choose a preferred height makes Pal a versatile
design you can personalise. Takeuchi often describes his designs as “living
objects”, referring to aspects not necessarily visible or tangible. But rather,
something you can sense from their presence. The collaboration with Fredericia
started in 2019, when Takeuchi designed a bench produced by Fredericia for
the Fiskars Art and Design Biennale. Pal is the first commercial product in our
collaboration.
The Islets Table series is a precise design with a strong identity, based on a
simple construction, where details are kept to a minimum. It’s an approach that
reflects the sculptural minimalism of Danish designer Maria Bruun, who seeks
a balance between a light feeling in the expression and pieces with a strong,
assertive presence.
Islets consists of a side table, a large coffee table and a grand dining table
all crafted in solid oak and finished with a natural light oil. Oak is a signature
material from Fredericia, appreciated for its warmth and durable qualities. The
series can work as separate elements or as a set to anchor an interior - from
private homes to public spaces.
The name Islets takes its inspiration from several small, man-made islands
in a Copenhagen borough called Christianshavn. An urban archipelago
undergoing a renaissance as a vibrant waterfront city, structurally supported by
a foundation of oak pillars.
