N-ST01 side table, 50 x 50 cm, lacquered oak - marble

Karimoku Case's N-ST01 side table showcases the irresistibly beautiful combination of two natural materials – oak and marble – captivating in both private homes and public spaces alike. Designed by Norm Architects, the table charms with its sense of balance: a round marble tabletop is supported by a skilfully crafted oak structure whose proportions shift gracefully from light to solid.

The interplay of contrasts continues in the finely considered details, too. A deliberately exposed wooden element breaks the surface of the marble top, revealing the table’s construction and highlighting the relationship between the materials. The same precision craftsmanship is evident in the leg joints, where the oak’s natural grain is allowed to shine. The result is a sculptural, timelessly elegant side table that feels just as natural as the centrepiece of a living room as it does in the refined interior of a hotel lobby or restaurant.
