Fogia's Koku side table, designed by Norm Architects, is inspired by the American art and crafts movement and especially the sculptural furniture of the American-Japanese designer George Nakashima. As a tribute to Nakashima's style, the Koku side table plays with proportions and asymmetry: the main material of the table, sturdy oak, is counterbalanced by a thin metal tube functioning as the table's leg. Thanks to its unusual, interesting structure, the Koku side table's appearance varies depending on the angle.

Designer
Norm Architects is a dynamic design duo composed by the Danish architects Kasper Rønn (b. 1976) and Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen (b. 1976), both graduates of the Royal Danish Academy of fine Arts in Copenhagen. Being true modernists, they believe in design where the focus is in meeting a real need instead of creating one, and this reflects from their work as architects as well as industrial designers.
Though bearing a strong admiration for some of the most pure minimalists, Norm Architects is not easy to categorize. The architects see their work as a part of the Scandinavian modernist tradition – functional, minimal, poetic and timeless – with a profound understanding of natural materials and a special attention to detail. One of their most successful products is the MILK lamp, designed for &Tradition, that combines wood and glass.
