The Gastro Safe Zone concept has during the pandemic become a world phenomenon and has helped create safe public spaces. The ORBIT table transforms the original dining set from Gastro Safe Zone in a standard urban furniture. As architects, at the beginning of the pandemic, we decided to focus on public spaces, as those were the only option for the dying gastronomy industry. The main goal was a controlled awakening of the gastro industry after lockdown. We came up with dining tables in safe zones. Distances, spacing and regulations were designed according to the government. Within two weeks, Gastro Safe Zone received a graphic presentation, technical details and web background. After the main covid wave, the original table has become a functional urban furniture for day-to-day use. ORBIT is stable, user-friendly and resistant. It revitalizes public spaces and, if necessary, can be combined with a safe zone again.
The ORBIT table consists of a base frame, seats and a table top. The base frame carries seats and the table top. ORBIT is made out of steel and it is fully galvanized. During transport or storage, the frame is stackable. The table top can be made of aluminum sheet or high-pressure laminate (HPL). The legs are adjustable, made out of stainless steel and can be anchored to a surface. The set is very resistant to climatic conditions, easy to wash and stable. People can enjoy ORBIT in several color variants, different shapes of table tops and several options according to the number of seats.
