Element Round Table
Made by Desalto
Designed by Tokujin Yoshioka
Tokujin Yoshioka's practice has long drawn from natural phenomena, seeking forms that science and intuition share. The Element table collection emerges from his sustained study of crystal growth, translating those latticed, angular structures into furniture with a quiet radicalism.
The round table's top appears to balance on a single rectangular prism, itself tilted so that one beveled corner meets the floor while the opposite corner bears the weight of the surface above. The geometry is precise, the equilibrium deliberate. What reads as precarious is, in fact, resolved with engineering confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
What inspired the design of the Element table?
Tokujin Yoshioka drew from his ongoing research into crystal growth, abstracting the angular, latticed geometry of natural crystalline structures into the table's tilted rectangular prism base. The result is a form that feels both scientifically derived and quietly sculptural.
How is the Element table base structurally stable?
The base consists of a rectangular prism positioned at a calculated angle, with one beveled corner contacting the floor and the opposite corner supporting the tabletop. The geometry is engineered to distribute load precisely, so the apparent tilt is a product of structural intention rather than visual trickery.
What finishes and sizes are available for the Element Round Table?
The Element collection is offered in multiple finishes and dimensions. As a made-to-order piece, specific configurations are best confirmed with an authorized Desalto representative to ensure the finish and scale are suited to the project.
Who is Tokujin Yoshioka?
Tokujin Yoshioka is a Japanese designer and artist known for work that bridges scientific inquiry and poetic form. He has collaborated with brands including Moroso, Toyota, and Hermès, and his pieces are held in the permanent collections of MoMA New York and the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
Is the Desalto Element table suitable for contract or hospitality use?
Desalto produces furniture to exacting Italian manufacturing standards, and many pieces in the collection are specified for high-end hospitality and contract environments. Lead times and contract specifications should be discussed directly with a design consultant.
