A beautiful patio with a grid of chaguaramos (roystonea oleracea), was going to host a private event. For being the chaguaramos the protagonists of the space, a table was designed that could take advantage of its trunk as a structural element without causing any damage. This table would be replicated in each of the chaguaramos of the grid, and was made up of a metallic structure, divided into 2 semicircular pieces, which are assembled around the trunk, while being fixed in its exact position through a system of Threaded levelers with rubber terminals, which adjust smoothly and precisely without hurting the chaguaramo.

The top is made up of a glass ring intervened by the artist Teresa de Vivo, the lighting of each of these pieces sought to highlight the plastic character of the tables as well as the verticality of the chaguaramos.

Once the event is over, chaguarama is easily dismantled leaving the chaguaramo that was his partner in the evening free.

do el evento, chaguarama se desmonta fácilmente dejando libre al chaguaramo que fue su pareja en la velada.
