The Traces Tables by Uto Balmoral is Subtly Colorful

— August 22, 2012 — Art & Design
The Traces Tables collection revolves around the slices of color present in each piece. An overall minimalist and modern line of furniture, the tables all boast a hint of vibrancy, which adds character and a dynamic touch to the otherwise basic designs. It is this surprising accent that will have people doing a double take when admiring the clean lines and subtle aesthetic of the Traces Tables.

Created by Italian designer Uto Balmoral for manufacturer Officinanove, the Traces Tables have beautiful wooden surfaces supported on hand-milled steel legs. It is the legs that add the asymmetrical design element to the tabletops. Continuing beyond the perimeter set by the Traces Tables' surfaces, the legs bring a geometric aesthetic to them. Sleek and slim, the Traces Tables are great for many existing decors.
