These terracotta tables have a distinctive handmade feel and their aesthetic explores the realms of imperfection. The collection features three coffee tables with cylindrical bases and smoothly irregular slab-like surfaces. The colorway takes advantage of the material's natural rustic orange nuance.
The terracotta tables are designed by Milan-based creative Simone Bonnani for Moooi. The logo of the later is featured in a minimalist and style-forward way on the furniture's base. With the 'Obon' collection, Bonnani intends to mix the aesthetic of the old with that of the new. Through the terracotta tables, the designer brings together "streamlined, geometric shapes" and the tradition-evoking permanence of the material. The handmade appearance truly adds a sense of authenticity to the Obon collection and the pieces surely contribute to the contemporary home.
