New Dutch design brand Fraaiheid (Dutch for “beauty”) takes a single sheet of laminated plywood and turns it into a sustainably produced table with cross-shaped joints. Using a CNC milling machine, the + Table ‘s parts are cut with precision out of one sheet, making for minimal waste. The name of the table comes from the cross-shaped joints that are made when the parts come together. The +, or cross-shaped joints, make assembly easy – you can put the tables together in minutes! +/- table They use a high quality birch plywood with a hard top layer of white or anthracite grey HPL (High Pressure Laminate). Other colors are available upon request.
