Awa Outdoor Small tables

Description

Elegantly asymmetrical, Awa Outdoor is a versatile object, a service table to be placed wherever a support surface is needed. Its plastic shape exploits the properties of Cristalplant®, a refined and sensual material, equipped with a soft touch surface, but at the same time resistant and extremely practical, to be used both indoors and outdoors.

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.
