Paperwood Coffee Table by Anderssen & Voll

Paperwood Coffee Table – designed by Anderssen & Voll – Ariake

We find a certain attractive calmness surrounding objects that are in a momentary state of balance.

The solid wood legs and table top tapers from a thickness of 20mm to 5mm, giving a sense of incredible visual lightness.
This is emphasized by the small gap at the base, lifting the table off the floor and letting a sliver of light through.

Ariake is a furniture brand founded by Legnatec and Hirata Chair, two factories from the furniture producing town
of Morodomi in Saga prefecture, Japan. Ariake is named after the Ariake Sea in Southern Japan and also means “daybreak”
in Japanese symbolizing a new chapter for its founding manufacturers: Legnatec and Hirata Chair Manufacture Co.
which have been producing furniture in Japan for over 40 years.
It is Ariake’s philosophy that furniture is made for social situations where people live, work and eat together.
The Ariake brand was created during two intensive workshops in Morodomi where furniture designers, art directors,
craftsmen and photographers lived, worked and ate together to shape and generate a collective energy
and mutual trust that would define the soul of the brand.

The products made by Ariake is inspired by the spirituality of Japanese culture and urban living contexts which is seen
in the combination of handmade- and machine-created products.
Each Ariake collection piece is 100% made in Saga, Japan by Hirata Chair and Legnatec,
producers of Japanese furniture since more than 40 years.
