About Guinguet Pedestal na Mesa para sa Paghahain

Ang Guinguet ay isang pedestal na mesa para sa paghahain na idinisenyo para gamitin sa tabi ng mga mesang kainan sa restawran. Sinusuportahan ng mesa ang paghahanda at pag-aayos ng pagkain sa harap ng mga panauhin. Ang isang nakabaluktot na harapang paa ay nagbibigay-daan sa ibabaw ng mesa na umabot sa mesang kainan, kaya walang puwang na naiiwan sa pagitan ng dalawa, kahit na sa mga bilog na mesa. Sinusundan ng ibabaw ng mesa ang pag-uusli na ito, at ang naging hugis ay nagkakaroon ng anyong parang hayop. Ang taas ng paghahain ay angkop para sa gawaing nakatayo. Ang Guinguet ay gawa sa kahoy na oak gamit ang tradisyonal na mga teknik na pinagsama sa digital na mga kagamitan. May inilagay na drawer sa ilalim ng istante, at maaaring dagdagan ng cutting board na gawa sa beech.

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

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.
