A collection developed for sustainability and longevity, with a simplistic, soft, round design, KOTAN is a series of “next-generation, long-lifespan products.” Available in Japanese Ash wood, KOTAN is perfect for residences, stores, office spaces, or anywhere a bright, airy design is desired.
The table was designed for pleasant and easy use in daily life, and features a unique single-leg support and metal base. It is compact and perfect for commercial uses, such as placement next to a large window with beautiful scenery in a cafe, paired with a KOTAN barstool. In the kitchen, it can be used as a spot to grab a quick bite or place something for a short while. Or, use it as a standing desk for a productive working environment, or even as a spot to stand at night with friends in a bar environment. A fresh, new lifestyle can be made possible even within a small space.
