Strut.

A modern coffee table with Nordic aesthetic influences, Strut features a new take on industrial, metal stretchers. 

Details.

       Parallel, bending lines and hidden fasteners that make up the stainless steel accent provide an airy, yet secure appearance.

       A light, matte finish over western maple emphasizes the wood's natural beauty while giving the table a warm presence, contrasting the cold steel stretcher. Soft angles are mirrored from the legs to the top, while rounded corners and edges soften these clean lines.

Process.

      Strut's design process was a practice in structural problem solving through making. Much of the table's construction and aesthetic choices were resolved through trail-and-error with physical tests and samples.
