Product description
The Nomos table, designed by Norman Foster in 1987, is a precise study in structural clarity and architectural logic. Conceived as both desk and table, the design reduces the supporting system to an exposed, engineered framework beneath a floating glass surface.
Slender aluminium legs are connected through articulated joints, creating a tensioned structure that distributes weight with visual lightness. The transparent glass top allows the construction to remain fully visible, turning engineering into aesthetic expression. The composition reflects Foster’s architectural language rational, high-tech and meticulously resolved.
Produced by Tecno, this example from 2004 retains the technical elegance that made the Nomos system a benchmark in late 20th-century design. The table balances industrial precision with minimal restraint, functioning as both working surface and structural statement.
