Line Up Table by Kosta Pamporis

Line Up is a table designed by German designer Kosta Pamporis in collaboration with Florian Schulz. The tabletop is not 100% concrete, but actually a mixture of waste material from turning and sanding wood. Using this sawdust in a special concrete mixture creates a 40% lighter concrete slab.

You can even pair more than one together to form an entire system.
