The Design

About Moonland Mesa

The Moondland é unha mesa de centro única inspirada no movemento do brutalismo, que evoca formas crúas, xeométricas e limpas. O seu foco no círculo, en todas as súas vistas, ángulos e seccións convértese no vocabulario para expresar forma e función. O seu deseño irradia os patróns das sombras da lúa, honrando o seu nome. Cando Moondland se combina con luz ambiental directa, irradia diferentes patróns de sombras da lúa non só honrando o seu nome e tamén representando un efecto sorprendentemente máxico. É un moble feito a man e de fabricación ecolóxica,
