Akron Street s Tenon Table utilises age-old woodworking technique
Dezeen promotion: Brooklyn furniture brand Akron Street has launched a wooden coffee table held together by joints that require no metal hardware to assemble.
Using a centuries-old woodworking technique, the solid white oak parts that comprise the Tenon Table easily slot together and hold firmly in place.
The Tenon Table s structure relies on the strength of mortise and tenon joints
Designed by Akron Street founders Hans Yunez and Lulu Li as part of a collection of hardwood furniture, the table s structure is based around the strength of mortise and tenon joints.
To assemble, the tenons – the protruding ends of the legs – are inserted into the corresponding mortises – holes – in the table top.
