Ligne Roset: KASHIMA by Michel Ducaroy

The solid, reassuring character of the European walnut from which the 40 mm thick top of this dining table is constructed is refined by the cut of its edges. Streamlined like an aeroplane wing, the top seems to float on the twin arches of the black lacquered or folded steel base, with the play of light across its surface only enhanced by the very slenderness of its form.
The Odessa dining table is thus a superb illustration of his natural minimalism of uncluttered forms which pays particular attention to “materials, colours, surfaces, fullness and slenderness, light and shade.” The ‘matt varnished’ finish throws into relief all the natural beauty of the European walnut.
In 2015, the Odessa table was enriched with 4 new versions in the dimensions L 180 D 100 and L 240 D 100: a top in smoked oak-eect veneer, and one in white, white marble-eect or metallic anthracite ceramic stoneware, a scratch-proof, wear-resistant material 30% harder than granite.
In 2017, the success of the Odessa table calls
for numerous innovations:
– a large oval table 240 x 130 in white
marble-eect or metallic anthracite ceramic
stoneware on a black or white lacquered base
– a round table in the same finishes, in sizes
Ø 148 or Ø 130. In both cases, the oval or
round tops are in 14 mm thick laminate form
(with 6 mm thick ceramic stoneware glued
onto an 8 mm thick sheet of glass)
– a round table Ø 130 with top in 20 mm thick
white Carrara marble
– the rectangular tables L 180 and L 240 in
ceramic stoneware can, as an option, take 1
or 2 x ceramic stoneware extensions L 40, to
be located at the end of the table. The range
thus gains an additional table L 160 (with
extensions) to suit big city apartments
