A very thin sheet of maple supported by four slender legs arranged asymmetrically along the surface. As in a geometric game, the Desencontro table designed by Álvaro Siza allows to create various compositions, both square and rectangular.

Two legs are generated by crossing the structure, the other two are slightly offset. In placing the tables side by side, the legs never meet.
