Berlin-based design studio OSW launched its first collection at Salone Satellite and it is a selection of sleek, low and modern stackable tables that are directly inspired by Asian floor culture. The 2018 furniture capsule is appropriately dubbed 'The Bento Tray' and its convenient modular design accommodates any type of living situation — from micro-apartments to minimalist house interiors.
The minimalist and elegant stackable tables can be configured in a variety of ways. This is not only space-economic, but it also allows for the furniture piece to adapt functionally. OSW boasts its contemporary design in four sizes with the smaller examples providing an ideal surface for a mini working space or a dining tray for one, while the larger can be used for a wider variety of purposes — a coffee table, for example.
