This collection represents a physical dialogue between MANOS and STRANG. What began as an iterative study between our two teams evolved into a collectible object that feels inevitable.
Inspired by the bold structural expressionism embraced by the iconic Florida architect, Gene Leedy, the Double Tee Table distills a defining element of mid-century modernism into a singular moment. In Leedy’s work, the double tee was a declaration that structure itself should be beautiful. The table honors that legacy, reducing architecture to its essence: a load is carried, a span is expressed, gravity is acknowledged.
Concrete, often seen only as brutal, is treated here with playful precision. Formed by hand through the casting process, the material reveals its ability to hold subtle imperfection within a disciplined geometry. Curves cast soft shadows across the table’s hard faces. The weight of the material is unmistakable, yet it carries a quiet sense of balance.
The Double Tee Table reflects MANOS’s commitment to concrete as both form and beauty, and STRANG’s devotion to a modernism rooted in a response to space, light, and place. Our collaboration translates architectural logic into an intimate object—structural form brought down to the scale of the hand.
