Librans: Slender and Functional Trestles

Emphasizing Tabletops with Graphic Legs

The pair of trestles Librans by Osmose Le Bois Sas is a unique and functional design that adds a touch of elegance to any table. With its slender shape and graphic legs, it not only enhances the aesthetics of the table but also provides a comfortable seating option for extra or occasional desks. The design is characterized by its easy assembly and convenient storage, making it a versatile and practical choice for any space.

The Librans trestles are made from laminated birch plywood and consist of three interlocking elements: a C, an L, and a magnetic key. This innovative design allows for easy assembly without the need for screws or glue. The magnetic key ensures a stable and free-standing set, providing a secure base for any tabletop. The use of CNC equipment in the manufacturing process ensures precision and efficiency, resulting in a high-quality and reproducible product.

One of the key features of the Librans trestles is their compact size and flatpack design. The three wooden parts of each leg can be easily interlocked and gathered flat for convenient storage. They can even be hung up on a coat hook or a rod of a cupboard, maximizing space utilization. This makes the trestles ideal for small living spaces or for those who value versatility and mobility.

When it comes to functionality, the Librans trestles excel. They provide a comfortable and ergonomic seat at the table, thanks to their small size and stable construction. Whether used as a desk base or table legs, they offer a practical and stylish solution for various settings. The trestles can be easily customized and staged to create a unique and personalized workspace, allowing users to set up a table or work surface anywhere.

The Librans trestles were designed by Osmose Le Bois Sas, a renowned design team known for their innovative and sustainable creations. The project started in June 2014 in their workshop in the Paris region and was completed in October. The trestles were exhibited in a Parisian pop-up store in December, gaining recognition for their exceptional design and functionality.

The Librans trestles have received numerous accolades, including the Iron A' Design Award in 2015. This prestigious award is given to designs that demonstrate excellence in both aesthetics and functionality, meeting professional and industrial requirements. The Librans trestles are celebrated for their integration of industry best practices, competent technical characteristics, and contribution to a better world.

With its unique design, functional features, and recognition in the design community, the Librans trestles by Osmose Le Bois Sas are a testament to the power of innovative and sustainable design in enhancing our everyday lives.
