New launch: Baelo, the most cutting-edge meeting table

This month is packed with news for esPattio! Today, we wanted to introduce our first range of meeting tables. Baelo stems from our desire to venture into the world of meeting table design and diversify it, making it adaptable to all types of spaces, from corporate offices to restaurants and even for the home.

Designed by Italy’s prestigious studio Archirivolto Design, Baelo comes to market combining the commitment to quality that has been Grupo Forma 5’s hallmark for decades with esPattio’s signature Light, Colour and Warmth.

Would you like to know which colours and finishes will be available? Are you intrigued by the story behind our first range of meeting tables? Take a look at this short article and discover what will surely become your favourite meeting table!

Baelo, innovation from the outset

Perhaps Baelo’s greatest feature is its pedestal – in the shape of a bell or an inverted cup – which is created using the innovative rotomoulding technique. The process involves feeding a liquid or powder polymer into a mould, which is placed in an oven at a high temperature and rotated on two perpendicular axes around its centre of gravity. This allows the polymer to adhere to the mould’s walls. This results in much lighter pedestals than we would be able to manufacture using other techniques.

Thanks to this process, we have managed to create a hollow and seamless polymer pedestal, making it a perfect choice for the electrification options offered for each of the tables in the Baelo range.

The rotomoulding process is also part of our sustainability initiative. It not only means a drastic reduction in waste as long-lasting and harmful as plastic, but also a reduction in energy consumption, as this process is much more energy-efficient. Two ways that help us to take care of the environment From our skin, for the Earth.

Baelo, the perfect table for any meeting

Normally, when we think of meeting tables, we imagine impersonal environments, formal discussions and enclosed, dark spaces. Baelo casts all these stereotypes aside and stands out thanks to its unique value: its adaptability.

Baelo can be adapted to almost anyone’s needs. It is available with round, square, rectangular, elliptical and barrel-shaped tabletops. It also comes in two different heights: 74 cm medium tables and 110 cm high tables. The high tables are only available as a round, square or rectangular table. Finally, Baelo has the option to vary the number of pedestals that make up its base, from one pedestal for individual tables up to five for its larger configurations. Added to the infinite number of dimensions available for its tabletops, this makes Baelo a perfect table not only for any meeting room in an office building, but also perfect for use in dining rooms, restaurants, conference rooms, libraries, rest areas or even a home office.

In a sector where users demand furniture that is easy to understand, manage and transform, Baelo exceeds expectations by integrating seamlessly into any office or restaurant space. According to its creators, the Italian designers from Archirivolto Design, Baelo “has brought a touch of that home feel to the sector, which is necessary to add warmth to often sterile and impersonal office environments”.

Baelo’s Light, Colour and Warmth

As you will already know, the soft seating brand esPattio offers products that break the mould in the traditional office, and Baelo is no exception. An infinite number of colours and finishes are available for its pedestal and tabletop to personalise Baelo according to your preferences, making it the perfect addition to your project.

Starting with its pedestal, produced in black or white using the rotomoulding process, it can be lacquered in any of the colours esPattio offers for this range. In an exclusive interview, part of the Archirivolto Design team told us that their preference for the pedestal was cold colours such as Black, Sombra or Alcázar, since “they are colours that clarify the shape and enhance the piece’s surface”. However, the other half of the Italian studio indicated that they preferred warm colours such as Gorafe, Duna or Cal. Two radically different preferences comfortably covered by the colour range available for this range of meeting tables.

As for the tabletop finishes, esPattio offers materials that include lacquered wood in the esPattio colour range, Dekton board in Eter, Soke, Umber and Nacre or the Archirivolto Design team’s favourite: European oak.

All the finishes for the pedestal, plus the tabletop finishes and the multiple dimensions available, give rise to an infinite number of personalisation possibilities for Baelo, which you can view in its Catalogue, by visiting our Seville premises after contacting our sales team, or by making an appointment at our showrooms across the world.

Baelo and its sustainable value

At Grupo Forma 5, we have been committed to sustainable growth in the furniture manufacturing sector for years. One of our great values in this regard is eco-design, which means that we design the piece to be sustainable from the moment we start thinking about it – not by merely making concessions during the manufacturing, distribution or sales process. Baelo is designed to be fully recyclable. 100% of its cardboard, wood, steel and polyethylene are recyclable, making it a product whose life cycle can be repeated at least six times.

The paint used to produce Baelo pieces is powder-based, with no volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Grupo Forma 5 has been committed to reducing emissions and waste from paint for over 20 years, from eliminating VOCs to reusing epoxy particles, recovering 83% of remaining particles using automated booth filters. This manages to eliminate the contaminating material.
