designers hugo silva and joana santos of portugal-based studio DAM launches ‘flora’, a set of coffee tables that refers to the act of offering plants to the ones we love. the pieces of furniture mix design and craft when combining natural materials to create four different-sized tables in six colored frame finishes. the story the product wants to tell is that there is a similarity between taking care of plants and taking care of objects.

the table’s top is made of an oak wood veneer while its base is 100% natural agglomerated black cork. the finishes can be both colorless or in a colored matt varnish. the collection consists of the ‘wide low table’ (5.7kg), the ‘wide tall table’ (5.8kg), the small low table (4.3kg) and the small tall table (4.4kg).
