KERB & STIFF+TREVILLION CREATE ‘THE TABLE’ ON LONDON’S SOUTH BANK

In conjunction with KERB and the National Theatre, Stiff+Trevillion have collaborated to design The Table, where food and theatre meet. A 70 metre long, bright red banqueting table, that'll be sitting on the South Bank all summer, right outside the National Theatre.

The Table is a modular timber construction, designed to be reused and adapted year on year, with around 200 dining spaces at three levels standing, dining and low seated. The 45-degree angled layout echoes the angles of the National Theatre, with the timber construction paying homage to the wooden moulds that cast the iconic concrete structure. The continuous table encourages people to come together to eat and interact.

The Table will be dismantled at the end of summer and is designed to be easily reassembled next season.

“It was a great pleasure to work with KERB on this fun and innovative project.  Its success shows the power of placemaking in architecture.  Good architecture can create exciting destinations that activate spaces in new and unexpected ways.” Stiff+Trevillion.

The Table opened for service on Friday 12th May and will be in situ until Saturday 23rd September 2023, every Wednesday to Sunday:

Wed - Fri 4pm - 10pm

Sat - 12 - 11pm

Sun - 12 - 9pm

From 31st July 2023, The Table will also now be open on Mondays and Tuesdadays between 4pm – 10pm.

Stiff+Trevillion created Seven Dials Market with KERB, that opened in September 2019, and are currently working on a new food hall project with them in Berlin.
