Contemporary coffee table RUBAN

solid woodrectangularwith drawer

The base of this solid wooden coffee table cuts like a ribbon through the oak top. The tabletop’s rounded bottom carries over to its drawers, creating the appearance of a single, unbroken volume. The drawers of the coffee table come painted in a vibrant signature red, but can be custom sprayed in any other desired color. A special edition of the Ruban made of oak is colored by the Shou-sugi-ban technique, an ancient Japanese technique in which wood is burned and brushed to form a natural protection. This traditional torching method generates a much richer color than a standard stain and deepens the grain of the oak (see photo 2). After burning, the coffee table is lacquered to prevent the release of charcoal.
