About Chifuyu Living Center Table
Chifuyu is a low center table designed for living rooms. The form was inspired by an image of two pieces of leather suspended in mid air. A single curving piece of leather shapes the surface and creates a sense of floating. Perforated metal supports the curve and made the complex three dimensional shaping possible. The table measures 950 millimetres in width, 950 millimetres in depth and 280 millimetres in height. The light and suspended appearance is intended to add an extraordinary note to everyday interiors.
