YON is a round table rich in wood quality, with four outwardly angled legs that give it a lighthearted charm. A perfect friend to the SAN chair, the originality in the YON table’s leg design not only provides a unique visual quality, but is also highly functional, preserving a good amount of space for people’s legs when sitting.
Designer Michael Schneider highly values its “strength and beauty made possible by subtle, precise Japanese woodcraft techniques.” YON, available in four sizes, coordinates flawlessly with a variety of chairs, giving an endless range of possibilities to elevate styling in spaces such as trendy cafes and modern restaurants.
