KOYORI NEWSLETTER PRODUCT STORY: KIGO COFFEE AND SIDE TABLES Vol.2 With the Kigo tables, GamFratesi introduce a fresh typology for KOYORI, while staying true to the brand’s beautiful philosophy. The combination of light and dark wood tones and the contrasting hues creates a dynamic visual effect, evoking harmony in the same way nature’s own creations do. "With these tables, we seek to create a piece that is not only functional but also a work of art in its own right," they say.
The tables present unique challenges, especially in combining two wood species, each with different rates of expansion and contraction—oak and walnut. KOYORI's skilled artisans meticulously calculate the specific size and distance of the bowl fitting, exploring various methods to ensure a perfect fit. Despite consistent adjustments, there were days when the bowl fit seamlessly and others when it didn’t, illustrating the delicate balance required. The final machining and finishing touches, performed by skilled hands, create a surface so smooth that the joints between the woods are nearly invisible. INSTAGRAM WEBSITE Vimeo YouTube ©KOYORI |
