Abstract: A table (1) is described which comprises a tabletop (2) having a recess for providing a working area, the horizontal outline of the tabletop being partly coincident with an imaginary right-angled quadrilateral such as a rectangle or a square, wherein the tabletop (2) has two diagonally opposite, right-angled, equilateral, similarly shaped corner sections having sides of different lengths (A, C) which form a part of the sides of the quadrilateral, the rectilinear corner edges adjoining the edge portions which follow a curve or line that severs the diagonally opposite corner sections of the right-angled imaginary quadrilateral, in such manner that the imaginary corner sections form the recess (6). The use of the table in a table assembly is also described.
