Akron Street's Tenon Table utilises age-old woodworking technique
Dezeen promotion: Brooklyn furniture brand Akron Street has launched a wooden coffee table held together by joints that require no metal hardware to assemble.
Using a centuries-old woodworking technique, the solid white oak parts that comprise the Tenon Table easily slot together and hold firmly in place.
The Tenon Table's structure relies on the strength of mortise and tenon joints
Designed by Akron Street founders Hans Yunez and Lulu Li as part of a collection of hardwood furniture, the table's structure is based around the strength of mortise and tenon joints.
To assemble, the tenons – the protruding ends of the legs – are inserted into the corresponding mortises – holes – in the table top.
