Two prototypes of the table are presented in the installation young earth at the International Design Festival Designblok 2024. This monumental piece of furniture made of rammed earth responds to ecological challenges and the aesthetic demands of current architecture and design.

The table is handcrafted from a mixture of recycled remnants of stonemasonry, clay, and water. It contains no cement additives, so the material is natural. The top of the darker version of the table is a sample of polished rammed earth flooring and is made from the excavations of metro line D, while its leg is a sample of rammed earth wall. The second, lighter prototype of the table uses material from the landfill, where excavated materials await further use. It includes, among other things, Slivenecký marble and other pieces from crushed stonemasonry scraps, which are also waste raw materials.
