DESCRIPTION
AS400 and AS500 make a series of incredibly mobile
flip-top tables on castor base for multiple purposes
such as training, meeting, conferencing, and dining.
The tables come with round and square tabletops
but are especially characterized by the round top
with a concave recess – called round concave -
shaped tabletop which enables the tables to dock
on and be linked together in an unlimited number of
arrangements; from small groups of three to large
round circles or any other imaginary organic shape.
The table comes in a standard café height and in
bar height. The tables can be flipped and nested
when not in use.

BASE
4-STAR BASE
Slightly twisted cast aluminium Ø700 mm 4-star
castor base.
Finish comes in polished aluminium and black or
satin black powder coated aluminium.
The design of the base is slightly twisted which gives
it character and an elegant appearance. The base
mirrors the base on the tables and gives the AS
series a harmonious design language.
MECHANISM
The flip-top mechanism is a neat round design easy
on the eye PA-GF. It is operated by a red release
handle – pull and the tabletop ca be put in its up-
right position. Just push the tabletop down to bring
it back and locked into its horizontal position.
Besides, the mechanism also has a handle and
two hooks. The handle serves both the purpose of
flipping the tabletop and to push the table around
easily or even liing it over e.g., a doorstep. The two
hooks are built-in for hanging a bag, a coat, or to
hang or wind-up cables underneath the table.
Just below the mechanism there is rubber bumper
which protects the next table in line from scratches
when being nested. All of this gives a unique and
high-quality user experience when operating the
AS tables.
COLUMNS
Round tube design Ø50 mm steel S237JR. Finish
comes in satin white, black or satin black powder
coated aluminium.
CASTORS
The 4-star base has four black castors Ø60 mm with
brakes. Material is PA6 and PP. One of the table’s
four castors adjusts for uneven floors, ensuring a
level suace. So lane castors are optional –
material TPU.

LINKING
AS tables are equipped with a characteristic and
smart intuitive linking system. It consists of black
Ø8 mm elastic cords which are used to join tables
firmly together and to align the table system. They
are tensioned by hand and pulled over the nearest
fixing cylinder (and released again whenever
desired). The alignment of the tables to each other
can be slidably adjusted. In this way, large or small
table arrangements can be easily configured.
Since the tables have fixing cylinders all the way
around the table the docking-angle is freely selec-
table, and the position can be held together by
the elastic cord and adjusted until the wheels are
blocked. It provides freedom to arrange scenarios
in the most versatile form. Fixing cylinders are round
Ø25 mm made of black PP. Note, round tables are
without linking.
STACKING CAPACITY
Flipped AS tables have a nesting depth of 700 mm.
Flip the tops and nest the tables linearly inside
each other. An infinite number of tables can then
be placed on the edge of the room or in a storage
room.
