Coffee tables made with technical materials, unvarnished hard metal and ceramic for a post-industrial look. Shapes inspired by the Orient: a Torii is the traditional Japanese gateway that leads to a Shinto shrine or, more simply, a sacred area. The thin top of the table appears to be floating in a void. Not just aesthetically pleasing, the different sizes and heights allow a play of joints and overlaps of the functional values.
