Pantagruel

© Design by Dirk Wynants for Extremis, 2014

In Rabelais' 16th century novel, Pantagruel was the son of Gargantua, known for enjoying life to the fullest. This round outdoor table in powder-coated steel and wood lives up to that spirit, with a built-in Lazy Susan that keeps everything within easy reach.

Round lines, timeless materials, one clever twist.

Three versions: a picnic table, a dining table, and a high table. All three seat eight, all three feature the Lazy Susan in the center, and all three pair with an Inumbra or Inumbrina shade without needing a separate umbrella base. Round, refined, and built to last.
