Abstract
Abstract The manicure table is shaped in such a way that the client and the manicurist are not located opposite each other on one axis but rather at an angle to each other. The surface (1) of the table comprises an indent (2) where the client sits and at least one second indent (3) for the manicurist. This arrangement means the distance between the two persons is halved in comparison to a standard table, yet each person has ample leg room.
