The Compass trestles are a study in elegance and balance. They are made from steamed solid beech and are available in natural or stained black finish. Designed with practicality and stability in mind, the Compass consists of three component parts that fit together to create a sturdy table base. The top height is adjustable and can fit the needs of a table, desk or workbench. The Compass is notable for its finely drawn details, tapered legs that ascend into a mid-leg curve and rounded neoprene pads that secure the tabletop.
Matthew Hilton has been intimately associated with the revival of the British Furniture Design scene in recent years. His involvement with ercol and, for example, the stunning Treviso desk showcases his love for classic design features.
