comments: crutch, by nicola stäubli is actually bent steel table legs and lashing straps. the end user provides the table top. the table top corners are aligned with the legs and the straps create the tension to hold everything together. the benefits are that you can use the table top size and material that suits your needs, and, because of the construction, your table will easily be broken down and portable. love the fact that this design is beautiful, simple and utilitarian. wow.
