Product descriptionJeño is conceived as the natural evolution of Jelly, shifting the emphasis from glassmaking references to the purity and warmth of wood. Entirely crafted in oak from the central column to the top, Jeño balances solid construction with harmonious proportions and visible wood grain. The metal base provides a refined material contrast and a visually lighter footprint, giving the coffee table a contemporary character. Designed to integrate seamlessly into a variety of interiors, Jeño functions as a versatile side or coffee table that highlights material authenticity and simple, lasting forms.
