23 Years After Its Launch: A Remarkable Design Returns in New Materials Bone Table by Kasper Salto

Bone Table by Kasper Salto for OneCollection featuring new solid wood frame with distinctive cross-positioned legs supporting glass top

In 2002, Danish designer Kasper Salto introduced the eye-catching Bone Table, named after its sculptural, cross-positioned legs, which seem to support the glass top almost invisibly. Today, furniture manufacturer OneCollection is relaunching the table in a new version, replacing the aluminum frame with solid wood.

 

 

Kasper Salto, designer of the Bone Table, says:

“The idea for the legs comes from an old trick where three matches are placed in a special way, locking them together. This creates an incredibly strong construction that remains stable even under significant pressure, which fascinated me.”

He adds that the round table naturally fosters a sense of equality—no one sits at the head, and everyone meets at eye level. This makes it ideal for both meetings and dinner gatherings, where conversation can flow freely and uninterrupted.

Since 2002, Kasper Salto has envisioned a version of the table with a wooden frame, but producing it requires advanced milling machinery capable of handling particularly long pieces. He is therefore pleased that OneCollection, with its specialized woodworking facilities in Ringkøbing and Vejen, has both the equipment and the skill set to take on the task.

The Bone Table is crafted at OneCollection’s own workshop in Ringkøbing, Denmark, and is available in solid FSC-certified oak, ash, and walnut. On the new version, the frame is fitted with solid, hand-turned feet in either aluminum or brass, allowing the material combination to be tailored.

The Bone Table is being relaunched as both a dining and conference table with a diameter of 160 cm, as well as a coffee table with a diameter of 100 cm. It is available through all OneCollection and House of Finn Juhl retailers.
