Sugar Donut Coffee Table By Soft-Geometry

Sugar donut coffee table by Soft-geometryMaterials: Solid mango wood coffee table, sugar glaze, glass topDimensions: 48 x 48 x 12” HThe donut table was born from the Challenge of using vast quantities of factory waste end boards - cut offs from either ends of solid wood long boards that are discarded to eliminate cracks, checks or warping. To create the donut the boards are arranged in a carefully engineered pattern and then carved by a CNC into the donut form. The arrangement of the boards throws up a unique flux of grain patterns that make each donut table distinct, and delicious to look at. The donut table is part of the collection, Dessert Menu by soft-geometry, featuring solid wood pieces that each explore different notions of sweet in a succinctly curated menu meant to inspire (sugar) highs!Soft-geometry is an Indian design studio creating collectible furniture and home objects around a central theme of softness.

"Softness is a degree, almost anything can be plotted along a soft-hard axis. There are soft materials - soft velvet, fur, felt, hair, wool and any others that are soft to touch. There are visual associations - pastel colors, billowy clouds, things without edges and the soft light of dawn or dusk. There are soft sounds - whispers, melodies, the rustle of leaves; and soft scents - the smell of rain, wet ground or faint perfume. More interestingly still, softness can be abstract - it is malleability, a willingness to learn or change, fluidity, humility, empathy, slowness, childlike innocence or imperfection.".
