Couch side table

Floating walnut top on Prouvé-style tapered sheet-metal legs

A 450 mm square occasional table. The perforated pan is doing two jobs at once — it is a 14-inch laptop and magazine rack, and it is the only lower brace.

The envelope was corrected after the first pass so a 313 mm laptop actually fits and so the pan braces all four legs without extra rails. Material language is inherited from the Tyvek-screen hardware: 1.5 mm aluminium, Fusion Sheet Metal, quoted through LaserOn / SendCutSend.

The unfolded drawings are visual checks, not cut files.
