Object: La Table au Km

Jean Nouvel, Hon. AIA’s Tour Sans Fins, a 1989 high-rise for suburban Paris, never got built. He plays with the concept of a tower without ends at a smaller scale, and horizontally, in La Table au Km (2011). On view at Gagosian Gallery in Paris for “Jean Nouvel: Furniture,” the table is more than 20 feet long—but its span is in theory limitless, thanks to the top’s extreme thickness.• gagosian.com
