There are no design-rules to a beautiful composition of shapes. As seen in the Manhattan coffee table, it is consciously trying to compose an asymmetrical shape. The mutual distances between this visually floating 'blocks', and the proportions of the different plateaus, makes this low oak "coffee" and "books" table so unique.
Manhattan coffee table features a birch plywood frame with 5mm solid oak. The table is structured and offered with a smoked finish treated with linseed oil.

We have a lot of coffee-table books that we like to browse through so this table seemed like an ideal way to feature them and to let serendipity strike. We were pretty sure we'd like it, but we didn't expect its low wide profile to generate the sense of space that it has. It makes our living room feel bigger, and it really ties our front room together. It's not remotely conventional, but neither are we, and it's already been starting some conversations.
