obon tables
Design Simone Bonanni, 2017
Ceramics, glazed top
Made in The Netherlands by Moooi
"When designing a new object, I believe the aesthetic of it should be a consequence of a deep understanding of its essence, function and meaning" -Simone Bonanni
Obon is a collection of three tables inspired by an ancient, earthy, irregular material: terra-cotta. With its origins lost in the mists of time, terracotta is at the base of millenary archeology finds all over the world. These precious discoveries are evidence of our timeless creativity and desire to leave a sign, admire and ritualize.
The tables' design is the result of a patient process of combining shapes and volumes. Their graphical purity blends into the structure of ceramics creating a unique mix of new and antique. Enjoy a pure touch of earthiness in a sophisticated world.
The Obon tables are ceramic with a glazed top. Each Obon table is handcrafted and unique, therefore, they may vary slightly in size and glaze finish.
