Add a little taste of Asia into your home decor with the Lowbay Salon Table. This low-set table seems to be inspired by Japanese dining sets, and I can't help but imagine that this crouching piece of furniture would fit perfectly into a traditional set, adding a modern twist.
Designed by Han Koning, the Lowbay Salon Table is part of his White series. Although a minimalist design, the Lowbay Salon Table also boasts alot of attention to detail. Check out the exposed ridges that alludes to a plywood look, although the table is just made out of bent layered wood. Also, Koning feeds the steel legs through the bend of wood, creating a unique overall look.
An interesting low-riding furniture piece, the Lowbay Salon Table will surely add character to any living space.
