Scholten & Baijings have designed three side tables in thinned wood for the Japanese manufacturer Karimoku and for its new brand ‘K New Standard’.

The side tables vary in size, colour and pattern. The objects are the result of considerations based on the characteristics of thinned wood as well as woodworking traditions. Small diameter wood is joined to form a volume. The symbolic layers of a contemporary view on traditional shapes and techniques are achieved by superimposing different layers of colour shades and patterns. The texture of the wood is overlayed with translucent colour, which in turn is overlayed with a printed graphic pattern. The layers balance each other out and create depth in the stained and printed oak.

Colour Wood for K New Standard Japan will be presented in Milan during the Design Week at Galleria Suzy Shammah, via San Fermo/via Moscova 25.
