The contrasting materials and structures enhance the organic shapes that define Pond, designed by Monica Förster. The monochromatic colour scheme brings harmony and a sense of calmness. It works nicely both as a solitary table and as part of a larger group, whichever you prefer. Depending on availability, it is also possible to order a bespoke version of Pond, made from leftover materials from other productions. This sustainable approach ensures that waste is kept to a minimum. Because different stones are used in different productions, the aesthetic effects are varied and cannot be planned in advance, creating a truly bespoke piece of furniture.
