Larry Laske's Toothpick Cactus Tables

Lightweight Classic. We've had our eye on this one for a while now, and when it popped up in a room of Morphosis' Hermosa Beach House in an earlier post, we decided to sieze the moment! Larry Laske designed the Toothpick Cactus series of occassional tables for Knoll in 1993. The multiple legs and super-thin surfaces make a lightweight and visually interesting piece (and reportedly extremely stable!)...

Various heights and sizes available in beech, maple, bird's eye maple, ebonized-walnut veneers and black slate. Available from HighBrow Furniture and Unica Home.

anyways, the toothpick table with slate top IS greenguard certified.

Also note that the majority of Knoll Products are greenguard certified.

It's rather impractical IMO. You'd have too many things for your feet to hit/get tangled in when sitting at the table.
