Artek REB 012 Kaari Table, 2015

REB 012 Kaari table designed by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec for Artek.

Rectangular dining table available in black or with a contrasting natural oak base and matt grey, matt black, white gloss or black gloss finish tabletop. 

The Kaari Collection is the result of the first collaboration between the French designer brothers and Artek. Based on a simple, yet intelligent standard component of a metal loop, Kaari – meaning ‘arch’ in Finnish – is a collection that comprises rectangular and round tables as well as a desk, a wall console, a wall hook, a small round shelf, and larger shelves.

The principle behind the pieces is simple: the vertical load is supported by a wooden part. Bent steel banding provides elegant and transparent diagonal support. The interplay between the solid vertical board and the metal band gives the base a surprisingly light appearance and creates a distinctive linear silhouette.
