Fabrice Ausset Webwood Dining Table Oregon pine, larch, and granite Year created: 2023 H93.2 L218.1 P241.5 cm A blend of strength and lightness, a tension between the plant and mineral worlds, Webwood is a metaphor for the web—the imaginary web woven by the spider so dear to Prévert. A blend of strength and lightness, Webwood serves as a metaphor for a network: the imaginary web spun by the spider, so dear to Prévert. Fabrice Ausset creates a dialogue between the plant and mineral worlds by combining two softwoods—Oregon pine and larch—with a granite tabletop. The tension between the structure’s apparent flexibility and the weight of the stone gives the table an architectural presence. At nearly two and a half meters deep, it is designed for large spaces and collectors of contemporary design on a monumental scale.
