Parley Table

Depending on the size and top finish you choose, Parley can suit the home or office – as a table in an informal meeting area, breakout or lounge space.

Using no mesh, cables are held back by c-shaped clips, which can be used as single-sided or back-to-back to allow for double-cable reticulation from the floor to the table. The option of no cable management is also available.

Available in round, square or rectangle.

Parley is personable and inviting, and made for the entire team.

Designed by the internationally acclaimed design duo Doshi Levien, Parley’s name comes from the French word ‘parler’, which means ‘to converse, discuss or confer’.

Suitable for both dining and meeting environments, the table combines strength and warmth, with legs made of solid Oak and a frame of steel, finished in brown, white, grey or black powder coat. This, combined with softly rounded surfaces, results in a table that is humble and unimposing, perfect for friendly, everyday interactions.

The tabletop is available in three shapes: round, square or rectangle and is finished in either a white MDF lacquer, natural stain or a black and natural veneer with sharknose edge detail.

Founded by Nipa Doshi and Jonathan Levien over 10 years ago, Doshi Levien is an internationally acclaimed design studio based in London.

Nipa’s work is strongly influenced by her upbringing in India, where she began to explore the link between craft, design and cultural identity, while Jonathan trained in fine cabinet making before perusing industrial design.

Schiavello and Doshi Levien first collaborated on the successful OTM Table, introduced in 2015, which is celebrated for its ergonomic support, intuitive adjustments and contemporary design. Building on this collaboration, the two companies again came together to develop Parley, introduced in 2015.

With thin aluminium castings that attach to the inside of the table’s legs, the strength of the table was a challenge to develop. Furthermore, Parley’s legs are slightly tapered, becoming thinner towards the floor. Rigorous testing was conducted to ensure the legs held 84kg each and met Australian standards, while retaining the integrity of the design. Combining the warmth of wood with the strength of steel, the design of the table legs and top was successfully harmonised.
