New Dutch design brand Fraaiheid (Dutch for “beauty”) takes a single sheet of laminated plywood and turns it into a sustainably produced table with cross-shaped joints. Using a CNC milling machine, the + Table‘s parts are cut with precision out of one sheet, making for minimal waste.

The name of the table comes from the cross-shaped joints that are made when the parts come together.

The +, or cross-shaped joints, make assembly easy – you can put the tables together in minutes!

They use a high quality birch plywood with a hard top layer of white or anthracite grey HPL (High Pressure Laminate). Other colors are available upon request.

Love its simple and clever design. Hope it’ll be available in Hong Kong market soon. For sure I will buy a few pieces for my studio!
