Explorer Dining Tables

Product
The Explorer Dining Tables, designed by Jaime Hayon for BD Barcelona Design, is a a series of dining tables created as an extension of the earlier collection of Explorer Side Table; the collection is inspired by children and their love for jelly-beans: rounded sweets which children eat in the United States. These tables are typical of Jaime's design: playing with colours and shapes to craft products which are not only functional but also sculptural. By combining different techniques - painting some parts with a gloss finish, some others in matte and adding reflective glass top surfaces plus different combinations of colours - gives even more richness and playfulness to the collection. The tables are suitable for both private and commercial environments.

Variants
The Explorer Dining Tables collection comprises 3 tables: the Explorer 4 (Round: Ø 130 x H 73.4 cm), the Explorer 5 - 190 (Oval Small: W 190 x D 90 x H 46 cm) and the Explorer 5 - 220 (Oval Large: W 220 x D 100 x H 42). All of these are available in three different colours combinations. Please make your selection in the Size/Colour option above.
