Cutting Table No.1

Sruli Recht and FormFast present the first in a series - for the year 2008

SR109
is
CUTTING TABLE No. 1
a transportable aeroplane-friendly modular cutting-table
for designers and students alike.

this, is a cardboard table:
The core of many design projects is the design table,
without such proper costumes are limited to being cut on low desks or floors.

The last few years of constant travel and guerilla studio set-ups were impeded by this one lacking thing - no good clean surface on which
to stand by and cut it up. Back aching, fabric soiled and head swelling... productivity was continually slowed.
Similarly, during university, fellow students were oft discussing the limitations of cutting on bedroom carpet floors, tiled kitchen surfaces
and low tables.

Thus, this light and sturdy corrugated structure was developed to meet the requirements of both the travelling designer and space limited
student... or the travelling student and space limited designer, needing an ergonomic sturdy plane on which to cut, fold, draft, design or
dine. The affordable biodegradable alternative is easily packed down at the end of your day to regain precious real estate.

Cutting Table No. 1 - 1500mm x 1200mm x 930mm

dinner table, baby changing table, RPG table, and a bed.

This table is dedicated to the good memory of Phineas Hepworth
- dear close friend, brother in arms, and maker of the Original hard wood mobile Cutting-Table, pride of the Sruli Recht studio,
on which all things are done.
rest in peace.

My own blood gets on everything I make - one day auctioneers may gene test my work for authentication

I was a very detached child... living partly in this world.. and mostly in my head.
