The base is two flat blades, each slotted halfway down its length and engaged into the other at right angles, so from above the support reads as a plain cross and from any side as a single upright. All four blade edges are visible through the top as lines converging at the centre.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTwo Blades Slotted at Right Angles\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cross-slotted base lives or dies on the fit of the slot. It is cut to the sheet thickness less a fraction, so the two blades draw together under their own weight and stay square without adhesive; a slot cut to nominal size leaves the base loose and one cut tight will craze the acrylic at the corners of the notch as it is forced home. The notch corners are therefore drilled before the straight cuts are taken, which leaves a small radius instead of a stress point. Every edge is then flame-polished, including the inside of both slots, because those faces sit in the middle of the finished table where they are most seen. The grade is oriented so the deep blue is uppermost on all three parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 58cm this is a table for beside a chair rather than in front of a sofa - tall enough to reach without leaning, small enough not to become a shelf. The crossed base takes up almost no floor visually, so two of them either side of a seat will not crowd it. Set it where light comes from one side: the blades then read as four separate edges rather than as one shape, which is what the construction is for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Slot, the Grade, and Assembly Without Tools\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether it is standard or bespoke sets the build: 3–4 weeks or 5–6. The top can be cut wider on the same base, or made square if a round top is too soft for the room. The grade is available in other colours and can be left out for plain clear acrylic. Nothing about this table is glued, so it arrives as three flat pieces - two blades and a top - in one slim carton, and goes together in under a minute with no tools at all. That makes it easy to carry up a narrow stair or through a loft hatch, and it can be broken down again just as easily if the room changes. One person manages the whole thing.
