Description

Beistelltisch für Sofa oder Bett mit eleganter, asymmetrischer Form. Die plastische Wirkung ist den raffinierten und sinnlichen Eigenschaften des Materials Cristalplant zu verdanken. Dieses besticht sowohl durch die seine Oberfläche mit "Soft Touch-Effekt", als auch durch Stabilität und eine praktische Anwendung.

Concept

A sculptural project by Naoto Fukasawa: the small table Awa is a versatile object that can be used as a base for a lot of things. Base and top are integrated: aesthetically, it’s the epitome of essential elegance. Awa is made with a technologically advanced material, a special blend of white Cristalplant® that ensures it can be used both indoors and outdoors.

Its particular surface is very soft, similar to natural stone.
