The proportions of the Ratio table are based on the mathematical principle of the golden ratio and the relationship between the rectangle and the square. The Ratio tables were created as a challenge to make the thinnest possible wood construction. Indeed, with these thin components, Fenhann managed to create an exceptionally transparent structure while maintaining the strength and functionality of a normal table.
Another equally important source of inspiration was from traditional Japanese wooden architecture, and in these tables Fenhann shows the close connection between design and architecture, underlining that the difference is often mainly a question of scale. Used individually or in clusters, the Ratio tables propose interesting shifts in scale and direction, enabling different formations and functions.
