Last Supper Table
The Last Supper table is composed of different elements. The legs are inspired by the strong visual nature of Chinese characters. The table-top elements are based on the Fibonacci Numbers. The legs form an integral part of the table top thanks to a hidden steel construction, which allows for the table top elements to be combined, creating unique Fibonacci-based sequences of all different sizes and compositions. With the use of a third leg, it’s possible to create tables up to 5 meters in length. All elements can be made in different colours, enabling mono- to multi-coloured tables. The Last Supper table below consists of thirteen pieces, twelve representing the apostles, the leaf-gold piece representing Christ and three legs for the Trinity.
The Last Supper Table takes its name from Leonardo’s 1498 Last Supper mural, in the convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie, Milan. In Leonardo’s masterpiece, the table is the single unifying element in the scene when the apostles individually react to Christ’s announcement that one of them would betray him. The table itself is hidden beneath a cloth; all you can see are the prominent legs. Imagine what the rest of the table would have looked like!
