Nikari's Centenniale coffee table is an impressive example of harmonious and natural design. Designer Joanna Laajisto has created this table from more than a hundred-year-old ash wood, leaving visible cracks, grooves, knots and wood grain patterns on the surface of the table. As opposed to imperfections, he sees these features as unique qualities of the material that deserve to be highlighted.
The name Centenniale refers both to the longevity of the material used and to the expected long life of the table for hundreds of years. This table, made of more than 100-year-old wood, is allowed to appear with its genuine color and texture changes, cracks and other marks. At the same time, its low profile creates a harmonious and calming atmosphere in the space, emphasizing the natural essence of the table. Softly rounded footboards balance the sharp edges of the tabletop, bringing out the beauty of the solid wood material.
The size varies depending on the wood, and careful carpentry makes each table a unique work of art. Through the name Centenniale, we respect not only the age of the material but also the expected long life of the table.
