Table Flex 2.0 is a revised version of a table designed in 2011 by Swiss designer Hanspeter Weidmann for Swiss manufacturer Lehni. The lightweight table is made of thin curved aluminium in three parts, the legs and the tabletop, which are screwed together without the need for welding or glues. The finish is anodised aluminium or powder-coated, and the table is designed to be used as a dining, office or garden table. Lehni
Swiss manufacturer Lehni, working with Swiss artist and designer Andreas Christen, developed the Aluminium Shelf for the Swiss National Exhibition Expo 64 in Lausanne. The bookcase was the first furniture piece created by Lehni, originally a Swiss-based plumbing workshop and metalworker established in 1922. The Aluminium Shelf was conceived as a modular shelving system manufactured in either bare or anodised aluminium, employing the techniques of punching, bending and folding and utilising screws instead of welds. The system includes accessories such as drawers, sliding doors and pull-out shelves. Photo Lehni. Lehni
