To mark Arco's 120th anniversary and the 20th anniversary of the Slim Table, Arco is launching a special edition of this iconic table designed by Bertjan Pot: the Slim Table executed in three surprising colour combinations.
In collaboration with Arco, Bertjan Pot experimented with colour wax and furniture linoleum, both made from linseed oil. This combination resulted in three unexpected colour combinations and gives the usually minimalist Slim Table a distinct and striking look.
Arco spoke to Bertjan Pot about the power of his design, and about the special edition he designed in honour of this anniversary. "As with previous anniversaries, we took the party as an opportunity to try out something special," he says. "Arco was exploring the possibilities of colour wax from linseed oil, which I found very interesting. Not only because the pigments from linseed oil wax are wonderful, but also because Arco has been making the Slim Table with a top layer of furniture linoleum, which is also made from linseed oil, since early 2024. That seemed like a very nice combination to me. I like to combine colours that enhance each other. Soft next to hard colours, full next to grey tones. I ended up with three variants: a dark green top with yellow legs, a hard blue top with green legs and a light grey top with red legs."
