The concepts of space and symmetry play a central role in the In Between table, designed by Sami Kallio for &Tradition. A new addition to the In Between collection of tables and chairs, this round table features a contemporary central base combined with traditional legs. 'Combining traditional wood-crafting techniques with modern machinery, the In Between table has a Scandinavian spirit that brings together past and present', explains designer Sami Kallio. Equally at home in a business or private setting, and opening up the space rather than simply occupying it, the table comprises a black steel base and a circular top, which is available in a variety of materials.
