Description

Aspect has been specifically designed to evoke a sense of serenity and purity. Inspired by Japanese culture, a deceptively lightweight base effortlessly supports the surface with dignity. Through the creation of innovative manufacturing techniques, the table offers signature option details and a unique ‘live edge’ effect to provoke a desire to consider things from another perspective. A palette of honest materials inspires a feeling of being closer to nature and a sense of calm.
