The Design
About Guinguet ペデスタル型サービングテーブル
Guinguetは、レストランのダイニングテーブルの脇で使用するために設計されたペデスタル型のサービングテーブルです。ゲストの目の前で料理を仕上げ、盛り付ける作業をサポートします。前脚を湾曲させることで天板がダイニングテーブルの上へと張り出し、丸テーブルであっても両者の間に隙間が生じません。天板もこの張り出しに沿った形状となり、その結果、生き物を思わせる佇まいが生まれています。サービング高さは立ち作業に適した寸法です。Guinguetはオーク材を用い、伝統的な技法とデジタルツールを組み合わせて製作されています。棚板の下には引き出しを備え、ブナ材のカッティングボードを追加することもできます。

- Unique Properties
- Form follows function, said Luis Sullivan. This pedestal table comes above the table it fits into, in a real or simply suggested way. This interpenetration induces the front foot shape. The tabletop design still shows this projection and the form then takes on an animal-like appearance.
Like stage valets, different in colour, they are sculptures in dialogue. - Dimensions & Packaging
- Overall dimensions: W x D x H = 550 x 472 x 820 mm
Shelf height 760 mm for bridging tables up to 750 mm high
Under-shelf drawer 300 x 300 x 50 mm useful
Optional beech cutting board 600 x 290, 22 mm thick - Tags
- Table de service, guéridon, table de découpe, cutting board, pedestal table, desserte
- Production Technology
- This product is made of oak wood, according to a traditional technique revisited by digital technologies. Although very simple, it required a fine tuning to obtain rigidity and stability. As all our furniture, it is made to last. It has to withstand the important constraints of a mobile object intended for restoration. It must be easily repaired using techniques available anywhere in the world.
- Design Challenge
- The main difficulty was technical. The prototype lacked rigidity due to the overhang of the table top and the connection with the bent foot.
- Research
- The restaurant is a high-risk performance around a table. Waiters must have absolute confidence in the accessories they use. These only have interest in the service quality and gesture they provide. Today's restaurant tables are often round. As the circle shape is not inclusive, there is no simple form to enlarge it. Going over it creates continuity.
The serving height gives better posture. The stage effect brings more attention to the show. - Inspiration
- The Odette restaurant in Singapore is renowned for its French cuisine. It practises Service au Gueridon, an expert way to prepare plates in front of the guests, with its codes and good manners.
Working this way is a form of intimate show at close range with a small dedicated serving table where one cuts and sets up with virtuosity under the guests' eyes.
I had the idea to interpret this as a tiny theatre stage, placed on a level slightly above the table, so as to bring the show even closer, regardless of the shape of the restaurant tables. - Project Duration
- This project was carried out in Toulouse France in February 2019, especially for the Odette restaurant.
- Operation Flow
- There is no discontinuity between the table and the pedestal table, no empty space between the two. In this way, the show becomes a performance in great intimacy between the waiter and the guests. They can detail the perfection of the gesture which must be perfect. If a cutting board is used, the plate is placed right at the front.
They can see the texture of the food, smell it. - Patents
