The visual inspiration for the side tables is a combination of natural wood and concrete. These two opposite materials combined, create a unique character of the product that has the coldness of concrete and the coziness of wood. Although wood and concrete have different properties, in interior they are complementary and perfectly compatible. The main goal of the project was to create not only a piece of furniture, but also a sculptural and elegant detail of the interior.

The tabletop is made of natural oak, and the base of the table, resembling concrete in appearance, is made by pouring solid mass, which is closer to wood in its properties. The set task was technologically challenging - it was necessary to fuse wet mass and moisture-sensitive wood. The entire structure of the table is manufactured at the same time, so that the two materials join together smoothly and precisely to avoid any gaps. After the product dries, it is scrubbed, and the tabletop is oiled.

The black concrete-like material is the result of various experiments. It is a mixture of several components: the largest part being paper pulp. Although paper is often associated with fragility, when mixed with other materials and dried it becomes as strong as wood, it resembles concrete but is slightly elastic, so it does not split or crumble.

This material does not change color over time and is not afraid of moisture, dust can be wiped with a damp cloth.

All products are handmade and unique, so they may differ slightly from the image in the photo.
