Herman Miller Cyclade Table

This family of sculptural, nesting occasional tables is meant for flexibility and play. They come in three different top shapes and sizes, each with their own height. Tops can be selected in a range of materials including wood and stone.

Find your flow with the Cyclade Tables, available in three distinctive organic forms that are striking when used individually or when nested in asymmetrical arrangements. Gabriel Tan found inspiration for the Cyclade Tables in shifting islands, a Pangea-like idea in which they could seamlessly come together and flow apart. Designed at Tan's studio in Porto, each of the three modular tables is unique in height, curves, and notched openings. Plus, the Low table is customizable with a cast-glass bowl that's perfect for entertaining, storage, or greater visual intrigue.

HELPFUL NOTES:

• Assembly Instructions for Cyclade Tables


• 
  

  Natural characteristics in stone cause variations in hues, veins, crystals, and distinctive marks. These variations and subtle changes seen as the stone ages are values associated with natural materials. No two tabletops are identically the same; variations in both color and veining are to be expected. Over time the stone may fade in color, staining of the surface may appear, and surface cracks-if not already visible at time of purchase-may appear. Small cracks do not affect the structure of the tabletop

  
  


• 
  

  Top shapes all come in predetermined height based on table height selected (low, mid, tall). Table legs and tops are not interchangeable.

  
  


• 
  

  Legs finish is always Onyx Ultra Matte which matches Aeron Onyx.

  
  


• 
  

  Ebony (EN) is stained on oak wood.

  The glass bowl accessory can be set into the hole of the low top table which has a cutout designed specifically to fit the bowl. Bowl is ordered separately.

Gabriel Tan

Gabriel Tan’s work explores the interaction between humans and furniture: how we use and configure them to suit our life, no matter the stage we’re in. His practice, Gabriel Tan Studio, was founded in 2016 in his native Singapore before he moved to Porto, Portugal, with his family in 2020. He keeps studios in both cities, using these influences to explore the cultural intersections between the two.

Portugal is also where Tan launched Origin Made, a design brand that collaborates with small-scale local producers to make craft collectibles for the home. Tan designs for a select group of international brands including Herman Miller, B&B Italia, Abstracta, and Design Within Reach, while creative directing Japanese furniture brand Ariake.

Tan didn’t start his career in the design space, but instead at the Naval Academy in Singapore, where he studied industrial design books by night. Two years later, he enrolled in a newly formed industrial design program at the National University of Singapore.

"As a young child, I was obsessed with drawing and art, but there was peer pressure to switch to basketball, soccer, Boy Scouts, and other activities, so I eventually gave up art for sports,” Tan says. Upon enrolling in design school, “I felt a sense of renewed purpose."

In his final year of school, he formed a furniture design collective named Outofstock with three friends he met at a design workshop in Stockholm, showing at the Salone Satellite in Milan for the first time in 2007.

After collaborating with his partners for a decade, Tan launched Gabriel Tan Studio. His move in 2020 to Porto allowed him to be closer to furniture industries and skilled craftspeople in Portugal and Italy, which is where he would design Luva Modular Sofa and Cyclade Tables (his first products for Herman Miller) during the early days of the pandemic. “It was a period where projects were on hold and we couldn’t leave the house, and I had the mental space to reflect on what I really wanted to create during my lifetime and what people were missing in their homes.”

Both projects represent a personal transformation for Tan as well, as they are departures from his pre-pandemic work (think solid wood, visual lightness, minimalism).
