Story of a Formula One car and furniture designer


John Barnard is widely regarded as one of the great technical innovators in Formula One and is credited with the introduction of amongst others the first carbon fibre monocoque chassis.

With his immense experience and now working alongside Terence Woodgate, they have been designing an astonishing surface table that spans 4 metres and has a thickness of just 2 mm at the edge = five times thinner than its nearest equivalent! In a special installation during INTERIEUR 2010 this table is utilitarian enough to function as a workspace and a presentation table for a Formula One car!
