For nextmaruni, 2005

 

Oak and bead blasted mirror
 

D 550mm / H 500, 600 & 700mm

A set of three side tables, nest on top of each other within footprint of one. The table-top is a frosted mirror and it reflects a vague image of what is on it.

Designed for nextmaruni, a new collection for Wooden furniture manufacturer Maruni, of Hiroshima, Japan. We tried to turn Maruni's highly industrialized technology to create a new language of craftsmanship, by analysing the strengths and limitations of their facilities.  They can carve material by CNC machine, joint and carve again.  The result is a mono-structure with delicate sections, and a shift in shape from top to bottom of the legs.
