ÖThe main inspiration for Samuel Wilkinson’s Hoof table derives from the feet which are sharpened at the ends producing a striking yet functional detail. The word Öhoof originates from the protective part of the feet of ungulate animals. In contrast to most tables, the leg ends of Hoof are left in natural wood to avoid the paint from chipping off from being either kicked or knocked when cleaning. The foot detail is created by reversing the usual manufacturing process. Most furniture that have a painted section and a natural part are initially assembled, then masked off, and painted. Hoof stands out by being painted first and then trimmed back to reveal the natural grain.

The In Between chair was the first chair to be added to the &tradition stable of furniture and Kallio has reinterpreted certain aspects of the chair in the creation of the table. The curvature of the circular table is for example reminiscent of the negative space in the form of the chairÍs back rest. Similarly the angles of the legs of the table reflect the angles of the chair legs. The table legs were created using woodturning, a traditional technique that uses a lathe to shape wood.

At first glance, Lato resembles a sculpture, with its slim, oval or round table top balanced by an oval-shaped base. Striking, graphic and poetic, its purity of form is proof that simple is sophisticated. The initial inspiration for Lato started with the idea of a lollipop turned upside down. A classic shape from a candy most people recognise from childhood. But how do you turn a lollipop into a table? “Growing up on an island like Murano, I was surrounded by creativity,” explains Nichetto. “Artisans with an immense knowledge and love of materials, who I watched transform abstract concepts into concrete reality. With Lato, I wanted to keep the simplicity and streamline it into a timeless side table in a style that could easily be the centre of attention.”

A table is where different people come together for different reasons. To meet and discuss a topic. To agree, disagree or just laugh and enjoy each other’s company. It’s this idea of mixing people, ideas and elements that lies at the core of Mezcla, a table concept by Spanish designer Jaime Hayon, characterised by a mix of exclusive materials.

“The Spanish word for “mixture” is Mezcla,” explains Hayon. “For me it captures the essence of different people coming together and diverse design elements together – in a series of tables where the materials, shapes and colours could meet and greet, so to speak.”

Nærvær is the Danish word for presence, the concept at heart of this simple table by Norm Architects that invites you to be present. Whether connecting over a conversation or a cosy meal, it’s all about being intimate and in the moment. Ironically, the design of Nærvær is so simple it doesn’t impose its own presence on a space. Pronounced “naer-vaer”, it’s comprised of a powder coated, circular steel base and cylindrical stem supporting a round or square laminate table top. Don’t miss the oak veneer along the table top edges, a discrete detail in a design that could easily t into a corner or a crowded space. Allowing you to focus on the space and the people who fill it.

With the Palette side table by Jaime Hayon, two shapes, sizes and materials converge to create a cosy enclave. Ideal for a coffee, an intimate chat and more. Whether by a sofa or bedside, in an entrance, hallway, reception area or part of an in-store display, the Palette side table creates a unified sense of design in a space filled with different design lingos.

At first glance, each Hayon Lounge table is a lesson in geometry. One version features a round shape coupled with a hexagon together with an elongated oval. Another version has a painter’s palette shape, while another version juxtaposes a rounded rectangle with an elongated oval and a circle. Each table is a composition of three distinctive shapes beautifully balanced at different heights which form a unified whole. Varying in length from 67 cm to 83 cm to 116 cm, the Hayon Lounge Tables give a linear feeling to a 3D object. A sculpture you can enjoy looking at and living with.
