Introducing the latest edition to Lemon – the Sutton Table. It’s hard-working, flexible design in its finest form.

Designed by Lemon’s co-founder and head of design, Kevin Frankental, the Sutton Table is a beautifully simplistic addition to a space that swings between work and play. With its clean lines and considered design, the surface pays homage to the beauty of either Oak or Walnut in four tabletop finishes: White Oak, Blackened Oak, Charcoal Oak and Walnut.

“What makes the Sutton special, aside from its pleasing proportions, is the beauty of the surface. The table had to be as simple as possible so that you can really appreciate the timber,” says Kevin. “For the last few years, every product we have designed is not limited to use in just one space. So, each is commercial grade in terms of durability but aesthetically work beautifully in a home or office. And with so many offices starting to look like lived-in and beautiful homes, it makes sense to create pieces without restrictions.”

The Ashby table is the latest addition to Cape Town-based multidisciplinary design studio Lemon’s furniture collection, envisioned to be the ultimate entrance hall table – seemingly understated in design but considered in form.

The design, which took a few years to develop into a final product, features an elegant silhouette, simple enough to lend itself to a variety of spaces. Kevin Frankental, Co-founder and Head of Design at Lemon, notes, “We have come to the realisation that a great piece doesn’t always need to make the biggest noise in the room.”

The table’s versatility is largely attributed to Lemon’s ideological approach to simplicity. “The inspiration came from the surface,” says Kevin. “We use natural textures as much as possible, but it can be difficult working with materials like marble and travertine, and it’s come with a few learning curves.”

Kevin discovered that to achieve the round base he wanted, it would need to be made up of faceted pieces of marble, rather than a single chunk. “But instead of trying to hide the facets, we decided to expose them and let them become part of the design,” he explains.

The versatile Ashby table will soon be available as a coffee table in various sizes and finishes.
