The Franklin Series: Dining Table
Navillus Woodworks: Design, Fabrication
The Franklin Dining Table features the patented Franklin leg design in 1.5" square steel tube. Incredibly sturdy, the legs are tucked in from the corners, allowing for seating around the ends and corners of the table where corner legs would normally impede. Shown here with stained live-edge Elm slab, the legs could be combined with virtually any suitable surface.

The Franklin Series: Tables and Desks
The versatility of the Franklin Leg is well illustrated in the diversity of applications when used with tables of different scales and functions. For the Dining Table, it is made from 2" laser-cut tube, individually inset in the corners. On the desk it is made of wood and wraps around the top in a continuous line. On the nested table it plays a dual role supporting the top and a lower shelf.
