Drawn from the lacquered jewellery box traditions of East Asia, Coffer recalls the ceremony of objects kept with intention. When seated, the four chairs pull flush beneath the table, the form closing into itself, complete. It does not read as a table at all.

Constructed from Douglas fir, finished in black japan stain, the darkness of the stain draws the grain forward, rich and present. Hand-patinated metal plaques and stainless steel screws remain visible at the surface, a quiet acknowledgement of process and making. Proportions can be adapted to the room it is made for.

Launched as part of Sentimental Pull, in collaboration with Leonard Joel, as Artist in Residence at St Agni.
