The conception of the BS1 Coffee Table arises from a long-standing need to create a sizable coffee table with a simple geometry and a height inspired by the Japanese culture of calmness. This allows for a significant piece that does not compromise the spaciousness of a room due to its limited height.
The design aims to combine two of my favorite noble materials in architecture and design: wood, in this case, oak, and marble, specifically Carrara Bianco.
The table legs were conceived as a wooden lattice, also characteristic of Japanese culture, which has been refined to the simplest possible form and set back from the table's perimeter to create the sensation of floating when viewed closely.
Finally, the edge where wood meets marble is finished with a bevel, reducing the perceived thickness of the marble to half of its actual thickness.
Each of these elements combines to create a unique piece that embodies simplicity, elegance, and an appreciation for materiality and craftsmanship.
