Ryno Pedestal Table by Pineapple Contracts
Nominee Information
Our design ethos is to create furniture which is as safe as possible, while positively contributing to the environment in which it sits. The Ryno Pedestal table was designed specifically for mental health environments, combining dependable safety and durability with a warm and welcoming aesthetic. The table is available in 13 versatile colours, from vibrant hues to pastel shades, allowing extensive customisation and choice.
The central pedestal design (in lieu of separate table legs) helps to minimise the risk of parts being removed and potentially used for self-harm or to harm others, and also makes the table accessible for wheelchair users. The slender profile and compact footprint also contributes to the table’s unimposing character, especially when combined with one of the bright or pastel shades available.
The table’s innovative corkscrew design creates a very strong, damage-resistant connection between the tabletop and base, and is locked in place with anti-tamper fixings. This solution provides a much stronger connection than typical conventional method like metal screws used to connect 2 wooden components.
The solid-grade laminate tabletop provides a durable, water-resistant surface which, combined with the UV-stabilised polyethylene of the rest of the table makes it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
The table is available in 2 options – a heavily weighted option (120kg) which deters lifting and a floor fixed option (hidden and inaccessible) which, for added safety, makes the table totally immovable.
The weighted table has been tested to EN 15372:2007 (Test Level 2) with an additional 500kg static load test. The floor-fixed table has been tested to EN 15372:2016 (Test Level 3).
Like all Ryno products, the Open Wardrobe is covered by a lifetime guarantee against manufacturing faults. However, we understand that tastes and requirements may change, so when Ryno products are no longer required we collect them and chip them into plastic granules which can be used to make other products. By closing that loop, we’re reducing the amount of virgin material (and the associated oil required to create it) as well as reducing need for landfill or the carbon emissions associated with burning waste for energy generation.
