400 Volta Rectangular Dining Table by Wentz

The Volta table references nature in its impermanence. The detail on the base suggests natural movements and refers to nature’s construction logic, while the surface with the evident grain of the natural wood veneer reinforces the organic concept of the piece. The new addition to the Volta series consists of two bases, a metal structure for reinforcement and a split top starting at 320cm wide.
