* The trunchin table
is an 18th century table, which appeared during the reign of Louis XVI. It takes its name from a Geneva doctor Théodore Tronchin (1709-1781) who published work at the time on bone diseases linked to the poor position one adopts at one's work table and on the advantages it It would be necessary to create a table with a tilting desk which would allow you to keep your back straight and thus avoid any deformation or pain, whether you work seated or standing. The innovation of this 18th century table comes from a mechanism hidden in the thickness of the belt which allows the top to be raised to the desired height. Thus, the top of this table which could be solid or fitted with a leather-covered desk, can be tilted to the desired angle thanks to a notched desk, and can be raised thanks to a set of two or four racks hidden on the inside of the feet.
