Kasumi Coffee Table by Toshiyuki Yoshino for Bonaldo

Clearly inspired by Japanese culture, Kasumi is a new coffee table whose form calls to mind the outdoor stage used for Noh, the ancient traditional Japanese theatre. Structurally, the essential design of the Kasumi coffee table features two flat surfaces, a larger lower piece and a smaller offset upper section which are connected by a vertical supporting element whose sinuous shapes soften the geometric rigour of the two flat tops. Remaining faithful to its source of inspiration, Kasumi strikes the observer as a genuine stage on which to present objects.
