Barrell is a range of designs that are streamline interpretation of wine or whiskey barrels, used as a table base. The design is formed by repetition of a single wood plank, for both the circular bases and in laminated form for the creation of the solid tops. The result is a simple yet sturdy, brutalist home object.
