What began as a request to design a table base inspired by the lightweight #Greengridz tabletop grew into a collaboration between Marc van der Heijden of the circular office furniture company TRIBOO and Rick Peters, a designer of minimalist interior lighting for the design label Van Tjalle & Jasper.

The result is the much-talked-about BareBones table collection, which, when combined with the distinctive lamps, offers a new approach to circular design for the workplace—whether in the office or at home.

When the structure becomes the design

The BareBones table captures the beauty and strength of its core at a glance. #Greengridz. The striking ribbed structure is inspired by the logic of nature: strong, light, and efficient. All components form a three-dimensional whole using friction joints, creating a rock-solid construction without glue or screws that is also easy to disassemble. The tables are available in various designs, and the tabletops can be custom-made in different shapes, sizes, and finishes.

Minimalism is the common thread among our tables and lamps

The signature products of both organizations share a common thread. Minimalism. This is reflected in the design principles of the #Greengridz tabletops and the lamps by Van Tjalle and Jasper. The recognizable structures embody constructive intelligence and aesthetics that reinforce one another. Together, the BareBones tables and lamps are a feast for the eyes and flawlessly showcase the principles of circular design.  

Dutch design and local production come together

The collaboration between TRIBOO and Van Tjalle & Jasper demonstrates what can be achieved when material innovation, product design, and digital production are integrated from the very beginning. The result is an illuminated table that not only provides a functional space for working, brainstorming, or meeting, but also demonstrates that thoughtful use of materials and bold design are what define a future-proof interior. It’s not about using more materials, but about designing smarter with what you need.
