LA TABLE FATALE
Flat organizations. Sleep pods. Free juice bars. Nicknames.
Business has become cuddly.
But you know better.
You know what time it is (of course you do: you paid $10.000 for that watch).
Behind the office scooters, business is brutal: a Darwinian struggle red in tooth and claw, a boardroom jungle in which the weak are metaphorically eviscerated atop their ciabattas.
A wilderness in which self-interest prevails.
Which is where La Table Fatale comes in. This limited edition piece is inspired by the classic movie moment in which the protagonist tricks his foe using cunning alone. Cunning and a gun. A really big gun.
With its shining expanse before their mighty thighs, besuited silverbacks (such as yourself) can keep it real. Sure, every meeting is a battle of wills but at least now everyone can be honest about what they want. And that isn’t another Chai latte: it’s the vanquishment of their foes.
This steel and glass table ensures transparency at all times.
No agendas, no nonsense, no mercy.
