Intersection Worktable
Sculptural and conventional furniture

The worktable is made from environmentally friendly reclaimed Tasmanian Oak, sourced from one of the world’s first underwater forestry operations. Unlike any other type of timber, the wood is ethically sourced and reclaimed from an ancient forest lost under water for 25 years. The unique wood is identified by its pronounced pattern and imperfections that can’t be found in typically sourced oak. The wood gives the table warm, illustrious qualities, breaking with the traditional office furniture materials. The smooth surfaces express the texture of the naturally preserved wood with its unique gradients of color reflecting its history.

The Intersection Worktable, aptly named for its multifunctional use, provides a generous workstation space for four people with an integrated meeting place at one end – all in a seamless form. Its hollow legs intersecting the tabletop hide storage, cable management and organization accessories.

As part of Snøhetta’s ongoing exploration of defining valuable use of new and forgotten material technologies, the worktable is the first exploration into wood aged at the depth of a lake for decades. Handmade in Snøhetta’s Adelaide workshop, the worktable is a manifestation of a digital to analogue collaboration across studios and continents.

The Intersection Worktable was made on Kaurna land, Adelaide with wood sourced from Lutruwita, Tasmania. We acknowledge the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the lands on which we live and work and pay our respect to Elders past, present and future.
