The Ta-imo coffee table is inspired by the traditional technique of wood bending with hot steam. After being heated in a special steam chamber, the ash wood is bent into a round shape. While this specific technique is about 200 years old, Jonas Nitsch’s intention is to create a modern piece of furniture with minimal construction elements.

The two elements of this handcrafted table, the tripod legs and top, complement one another graphically. The three legs, made from laminated wood, are inserted into the tube of the top piece and held in place by the table’s own weight. The legs pierce through to the top and appear as an interesting detail. Jonas Nitsch drew his inspiration for the piece from branching trees; the shape of the frame splits from a main strand into three parts.

This hi-fi cabinet and CD shelf are handcrafted from old traditionally made oak wine barrels. The wood has been soaked with wine over the years and thus gained an unmistakable hue. The shape of the barrel stave is clearly visible on the shelves, while the legs of the hi-fi cabinet also have the same elegant curve. The wine theme is continued by the colour of the sliding door, which is covered with wine-red linoleum. The creation showcases both the finesse of furniture making as well as the craft of the barrel makers.
