Bottega by Kristalia — Table inspired by the aesthetics of utility

DESIGN BY KENSAKU OSHIRO, 2023

Bottega, the new table by the Japanese designer Kensaku Oshiro, is inspired by the aesthetics of utility that are typical of everyday work tools, such as the wooden easel in a craftsman’s workshop. Its beauty lies in its function, in the intrinsic nature of the table and its use over time. The elegant solid ash frame features surprising visual lightness.
