Oku is an interpretation of the Japanese word for oak 'Ōku'. Oku refers to the essence of design: oak. "Through experiments with balancing lightness and heaviness, making it paper-thin when viewed from one angle and solid from others, we have emphasized the material in a simple design."
The Oku table top is oak veneer with round edges, which adds a refined detail to the large surface. The legs of the turned oak wood sections are sporadically placed to create the illusion of a floating table, while adding a sculptural detail to the table.
Material: Solid oak legs, Top in plywood and oak veneer.
Measures: 80x80x36cm
