Nikari's Centenniale coffee table exudes a captivating and organic aesthetic that charms any space. The low coffee table consists of robust, gently contoured legs that provide sturdy support for the thick, sharp-edged tabletop. Designed by Joanna Laajisto, the Centenniale table is made from 100-year-old ash, exhibiting charming colour variations, cracks, marks and distinctive wood grain patterns intentionally left visible on the table's surface. While some may perceive these variations as flaws, the designer herself regards them as inherent qualities of the material, deserving to be highlighted. The name of the table, Centenniale, refers both to the age of the material used and to the table's expected lifespan of centuries.
