N-CT04 coffee table, 83 x 125,5 cm, lacquered Keyaki brown

Karimoku Case’s N-CT04 coffee table features an asymmetrical form that feels almost as if shaped by nature itself. Yet a closer look underneath, where the beautifully crafted leg structure reveals itself, makes it clear that nothing here is left to chance. The oak table’s considered shape comes from Norm Architects, who originally designed it for a residential building in Tokyo. It’s no surprise, then, that the piece echoes the harmony and calm of Japanese aesthetics – perhaps even gently grounding you a little closer to floor level?
