TA 1 – 1/Q

by Colos

The TA 1 metal table is an immediately recognizable piece thanks to the distinctive design of the tubular steel frame, especially the base.

The table top, which is ideal for outdoor use, comes in a square version, in addition to the round, so that a number of tables can be pushed together. The top folds easily for horizontal stacking, thus allowing for the most efficient use of space as needs dictate.

Another distinguishing trait of this designer table for bars and restaurants is its range of options: the frame comes in six different colours.

The collection also includes tall tables in the same design.

Pairing Ideas for Table Bases & Frames

Table bases and frames are the foundation of a stable café or restaurant table. Match the base footprint, height and weight rating to your chosen table top and venue traffic. For commercial use, stability, fixing points and leg clearance matter as much as finish selection.

Choosing the Right Commercial Table Base

Hospitality table bases need to handle daily movement, frequent cleaning and high turnover. When pairing bases with timber, compact laminate or other table top materials, confirm the top size, weight and fixing method. For larger tops, choose a heavier base, a wider stance, or a frame system to reduce movement and improve long-term performance.

Best for: cafés, restaurants, bars, food courts, workplace dining
Key checks: footprint, height, weight, fixing points
Large tops: wider base or heavier frame recommended
Materials: steel, aluminium and cast options (range dependent)
Finishes: powder coat options to suit your interior
Floor type: glides and levellers help on uneven surfaces
Ask us about suitability: indoor, outdoor and coastal applications. Share your venue location, cleaning routine and exposure (salt, rain, sun) and we’ll recommend the best base material and finish.

Indoor, Outdoor & Coastal Base Selection

Base selection changes with exposure and cleaning. Outdoor and coastal venues often need higher corrosion resistance, better drainage and finishes that stand up to frequent wash-down. If you share your site conditions, we can confirm the most suitable base and frame options.

Indoor: focus on leg clearance, footprint and finish matching for your interior palette.
Outdoor: prioritise weather exposure, ease of cleaning and stable bases for wind and foot traffic.
Coastal: prioritise corrosion resistance and the right finish system for salt exposure.

Care & Maintenance for Table Bases

Simple care keeps bases looking consistent and improves lifespan in high-traffic hospitality environments.

Daily wipe-down: use a soft cloth and mild detergent.
Avoid: abrasive pads and harsh solvents that can dull finishes.
Levelling: check glides and levellers to prevent wobble over time.
Outdoor: rinse off dirt and salt build-up where applicable.

Table Base & Frame FAQs

Answers to common questions about stability, sizing and suitability for hospitality venues.

How do I stop tables wobbling in a café or restaurant?
Choose a base with a suitable footprint and weight for your top size, and use levellers or glides for uneven floors. Larger tops usually need wider or heavier bases.
How do I choose the right base for my table top size?
Match the base footprint to the top dimensions and expected traffic. As top size increases, stability becomes more dependent on base stance and overall weight.
Are these table bases suitable for outdoor use?
Some bases suit outdoor areas depending on material and finish. Share your exposure conditions and we’ll recommend suitable options for your application.
What should I consider for coastal venues?
Coastal sites often require higher corrosion resistance and the right finish system due to salt exposure. Tell us your location and cleaning routine and we’ll confirm the best option.
Do I need a frame system instead of a single pedestal base?
Frame systems can improve stability for larger or shared tops, and can suit banquette or wall-side layouts. If you share your layout, we can advise on the most stable approach.
Can you help match powder coat colours to our interior?
Yes. If you share your finishes or reference colours, we can recommend powder coat options that suit your space and usage conditions.
