A city, or ‘’Polis’’ in ancient Greek; intersecting volumes and surfaces that define usable spaces. Inspired by American classics such as Frank Lloyd Wright’s Robie house, the Polis tables feature a series of stacked surfaces with deep overhangs, and two partially hidden structural pillars at the center to keep them perfectly grounded. Just as in many modern furniture pieces from the 1920s like the ones from Frank Lloyd Wright himself, but also Werner Blaser and Charles Rennie Mackintosh, there is a hint to the traditional Japanese woodcraft, which is remarkable example of clean lines, sophisticated joinery and understated yet precious wood finishes. The table top and shelf feature solid edge bandings, to prevent any laminate peel-off in case the edges get hit.
