atelier takagi: range life table


'range life' coffee table by atelier takagi

furnishings become monumental when viewed from a child’s vantage point. fond memories of playing under coffee
tables provided a point of departure for the 'range life' series by japanese born american-based designer jonah takagi.
derived from architectural models (such as from german architect mies van der rohe), this one of a kind coffee table
brings grand forms normally found in exteriors into the comfort of your living space.

materials: green glass, corian, blackened steel, pine, aluminum, concrete
produced by furniture manufacturer matter.
