Kanso Coffe Table

Laure Bilde for PLEASE WAIT to be SEATED

Kanso – a Zen approach that views simplicity as the heart of enlightened living, and the grace and beauty that emerge when clutter fades away. An understated, even austere, metal frame (in Fig Purple or Black) bears the trays, made from black-stained ash wood. Easy to fit together, adapt and transform, the KANSO COFFEE table is an elegant study in sculptural form and no-nonsense function. It works as a stand-alone assemblage, either as a practical and versatile side table or as a focus and centerpiece for the living room.

Uncomplicated and minimalist, the effortlessness of Laura Bilde’s finished pieces is testimony to the precision, passion and hard work that imbues them. Laura Bilde was awarded upcoming designer of the year at the Danish Design Awards in 2016. Uncomplicated and minimalist, the effortlessness of her finished pieces belies the work that has gone into them. Aesthetics and functionality combine in the architectural candour and simplicity of her designs. Kanso is made in Black stained veneered ash wood trays on powder coated steel frame and it is available in two different colours: Black trays on Fig Purple frame and Black trays on black frame.
