nadav caspi weaves natural wicker through walnut wood frames for table collection

embracing the traditional craft of wicker weaving

Nadav Caspi has combined wood and the age-old technique of wicker weaving to craft this series of Weave Tables. The Tel-Aviv based designer has brought together the natural warmth of wood and the intricacy of primitive woven patterns to produce a collection that effortlessly marries tradition and modernity. In each piece, encasing the wicker screen is a solid walnut wood frame which provides a sturdy base and ensures durability and longevity. The Weave Tables are available in two options: a taller side table and a wider coffee table, offering flexibility to suit various interior settings.

Drawing inspiration from the rich heritage of the traditional wicker weaving technique, designer Nadav Caspi has intricately woven natural rattan into the table’s base to form the captivating patterns that enhances the product’s visual appeal. The distinct interplay between the wooden frame and the woven elements introduces a harmonious blend of textures, infusing the table with depth and character.

With a background in industrial design and interior design, Nadav Caspi’s work centers around the exploration of natural materials — with a particular affinity for wood — and the technologies and manual processes required for their manipulation. He has long explored the inherent qualities of wood, seeking to capture its versatility and natural beauty for application in both artisanal and industrial fields, in a way that is both sculptural and functional.
