A pedestal table usually stands on a single column. Petal from STUA chooses a softer path.

Designed by Jesus Gasca and Jon Gasca, the base opens into curved plywood fins that resemble flower petals. Instead of one central support, the structure unfolds gently beneath the top. The result feels sculptural but calm. A pedestal table that looks less engineered and more grown.

The silhouette shifts with the format. Oval tops rest on two broad petals. Round versions sit on three smaller ones. Either way, the stance feels balanced and relaxed, like the table is quietly opening toward the room.

Material choice keeps things grounded. Oak and walnut highlight the grain of the bent plywood, while a warm grey option leans more architectural. The construction reflects STUA’s long interest in refined plywood furniture, where precision and softness meet.

From above, the table reads almost minimal. From the side, the base becomes the story.

For designers specifying pedestal tables in shared environments, the form feels refreshing. It would sit comfortably in boutique hospitality dining rooms, workplace lounges, or residential-style meeting areas.

If you’re drawn to tables that soften structure, it connects naturally to ideas explored in Workplace Tables with a Softer Core.
