‘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.
