Pleased to announce that the Double Tee table has been selected as a FINALIST for the upcoming @nycxdesign awards program. Sending “winning” vibes and stay tuned!
The Double Tee table collection is directly inspired by the pre-cast concrete structural system championed by the late Florida architect, Gene Leedy FAIA. Solomon Residence (1969) shown here under construction on Siesta Key.

Scenes from the Double Tee launch party 🍋
Join us on May 17 @nycxdesign for Sunday brunch at The Paul Rudolph Institute for Modern Architecture’s Modulightor Building to celebrate the launch of The Double Tee Table Collection.
The Double Tee Table Collection sits at the intersection of architectural lineage and material tradition. Through this collaboration with @strang_design , the legacy of Leedy’s structural clarity meets the material knowledge of MANOS. The result is an object where architecture is not referenced, but fully realized.

Behind the shoot.
There are certain moments when things start to feel real. Seeing the first mold fully set up, watching the team work the wet material during the first casting, feeling the prototype’s surface after polishing.
But nothing clarifies the process more than photographing a piece. It’s the moment we step back and see it not as an object in production, but as something meant to live in a space. The table is no longer moved by forklift or dolly, but placed by hand as it would be in someone’s home. Through each frame, we have the opportunity to shape to tell the story. How it came to be, and where it belongs.

In the Double Tee lounge… Originally designed in 1958 by Charles and Ray Eames for Herman Miller, the Aluminum Group series is one of the most enduring modernist seating systems—lightweight visually, but structurally very refined. Photographed at The Gene Leedy Office.
