What a table  

Looks highly derivative of
Norman Foster's Nomos table for tecno??

Exposed hardware, yuck.
But cyborgs might like it.

I almost feel sorry for the matter that went into it.

I assume that same designer also designed the company logo. He was in the zone.

I bet
Sigourney Weaver owns one.

What? A Table?

Snap out of it ! [slap]
It's 2012. What did you think 2012 would look like ? I think it's elegant. Wish I could see a side view.
(Yes, I work primarily in wood. But a fella can dream, can't he ?)

I'd say it could support a considerably larger top, by the way . . .

Can the
Aeron chair be had in white ?

Not white, SDR.
But you can get them in light fabrics with polished bases. And other chairs -- like the Aluminum Group -- do come in white.
Pictures of a light-colored Aeron and white Aluminum Group chairs around the smallest version of Bruce Burdick's 1981 table for Herman Miller:

I don't find the table unattractive
but SDR's right; the massive base should be supporting a larger top.
And the adjustable pads under the tabletop are just cartoonishly large; there's no need for them to look like that. I think the table would look much better with an opaque top to hide the adjusters and the ugly fasteners:

I expect all that
overscaled hardware is the intended expression.
We can't assume, because it doesn't suit our taste, that the designers have made an unintentional move, or error. . .it seems to me. If one didn't care for this look, one would stay away from the piece altogether ?
Thanks for the additional photos. Burdick was a San Francisco designer, as I recall it ?

Its not to my taste but I think it could have been improved if the designer had done some reading on and examined insect and vertebrate physiology and the connections and proportions that occur there in nature, that seems to have been the intended look.
Smartening up some the hardware with those fasteners that are used in wood handled knives or allen nuts and using finer threads on the pads might help refine things a bit too.
But with this sort of design I think an iterative prototyping process in cheap material is necessary, once the investment is made in casting patterns its usually too late to make improvements, but perhaps as SDR suggested the way its seen here is what was intended, unfortunately.

Yes, Burdick was in San Francisco (and maybe still is, but he'd be over 70 now, so probably not still working).
You're right, of course, about simply ignoring pieces that don't appeal, but this table DOES sorta appeal to me. I just find the big arms and "hands" distracting under a glass top... As though the designer's given me a beautiful picture window through which to view a junkyard.
And I'll say unequivocally that the chrome nuts and bolts holding the thing together are a mistake. They destroy the otherworldly look of the rest of the assembly.
