Unlike with the Dianas, we conceived the design relatively quickly. The project took us only two months from the first trials to the finished piece. There’s a famous old photograph showing workers at the metal workshop of the Dutch company Gispen (Culemborg, Netherlands) standing on top of a table to demonstrate its strength. We restated the image with workers at the metal workshop of Michl (Wattersdorf, Germany) testing a newly made Pallas table.”.
