Androgyne Dining Table

Audo’s Androgyne Collection is distinguished by its playful, yet elegant silhouette and considered combination of natural materials. The invention of the Copenhagen-based Norwegian architect and designer Danielle Siggerud, its blend of the masculine and feminine, true androgyny, is what lends the collection its name. Like a magnificent monument, the new Androgyne Dining Table pairs oak and stone to striking effect. The bold and confident take on a dining table amplifies the silhouette of the collection’s popular side table to grander proportions thanks to an elegant oak base, available in natural or dark stained, and a table top in corresponding wood or kunis breccia, an artistic blend of stones in warm tones that create subtle texture and add a new dimension to the design. A table not for the faint of heart, it makes a characterful accent in any space, from a domestic dining room to a modern restaurant or office gathering point, and serves multiple functions to bring a timeless quality to the design. The Androgyne Collection has always been about honouring perfectly executed joinery and celebrating natural materials. The use of rich, warm oak makes it easy to pair the dining table with any interior style, and the wood will age gracefully over time. I envisage the table in a home space, as a natural gathering point that allows people to come together in different ways.”, Danielle Siggerud. This wooden furniture is offered in two different types – natural wood veneers and solid wood – equal in beauty and with only minor differences in look and durability. Wood veneers are made from thin sheets of natural wood that are applied to a base of MDF, plywood or chipboard, giving the surface the appearance of solid wood. The final product is then varnished with polyurethane for a durable, easy-care finish and to prevent spills damaging the surface and underlying design. Wood veneer furniture uses less wood than its solid counterparts, making it a more affordable option. Furthermore, wood veneers are less prone to splintering and warping that can result from a solid wood design.
