All Been ass duerch d'Verzahnen vun dräi Holzklëtz geformt, wat en einfachen awer skulpturalen Look erschaaft. Hell Eech an donkel Eech ginn kombinéiert fir e kontrastéierend Faarfschema ze kreéieren, dat d'Konstruktioun an déi strukturell Zesummesetzung vun de Been kloer ervirhieft.

Unique Properties
Klotz is a coffee table that has a glass top and wooden legs made of six separate parts.
The legs have a block structure constructed by bracing three legs with the other three legs, producing a simple, sculptural form.
For the wooden legs, I used two different kinds of oak wood which
have different colors. the one with lighter color is light oak, and
the one with darker color is black oak. By combining two different
colored woods, it creates interesting contrast and makes the
structure of legs more clearly.
