The collection of modular tables seeks to be an exercise in "adaptive furniture", at a time when spaces need to meet diverse spatial and functional needs, and furniture should adapt to flexible environments. The system is composed of three elements: carrara stackable marble stools, which allow to define different table heights; several diameters of veneered oak plates, defining diverse table-radius; and pushed and anodised aluminium accessories, inserted in the centre of the wood plates, specifying each table's function and holding the different elements together.
"The materials and their properties define a time/space relation based on architectural principles," state Allegory. "The accessory can easily be changed on a daily basis, the lamp can be replaced by the vase, and thus to easliy evolve from a desk to dinner table." Totems can yield a stool, a side table, a night table, a coffee table large or small, a dinner table, a column, and many other typologies left to the imagination of the user.
