The ST.01 is a side table designed in line with the aesthetic principles of the Sony Experience Center (SEC). Its modern and technical appearance reflects the SEC’s design language, emphasizing functionality and material honesty. The table features two legs made of 30x30 mm aluminium system profiles and a solid, two-part tabletop crafted from recycled cedar wood. Both materials are integral elements of the SEC showroom concept. The wooden blocks are securely attached to the legs using screw bolts.
