Tonkin Console Table
Tonkin Console Table
Designed by D8 Studio
Inspired by Vietnamese traditional altars, the Tonkin table is an exercise in capturing the stillness of motion in everyday objects. The silhouette is pared down to classic clean lines. While its rectangular oak base curves at the top and features concave contours on the legs, the tabletop brings in a touch of lightness with its thin steel frame that gently curls up on both ends. The Tonkin table stands for District Eight’s craftsmanship to underline structural clarity in design, and transform local inspirations to new contemporary expressions.
Dimensions : L131 x W41 x H76 CM
