Alder Oval Lounge Coffee Table

Patricia Urquiola stretches the Alder concept into a smooth-oval coffee table, letting Mater’s Matek® composite show off its stone-like calm. The biode­gradable mix of recycled plant fiber and natural binders forms a broad, gently chamfered top that flows into four tapered legs—no seams, no hardware, just one continuous sweep of material. Flecks inside the matte surface hint at the agricultural offcuts that now hold your books and espresso cups. In Biodegradable Sand the piece reads like pale limestone; in Earth Grey it settles into the room with a quiet graphite tone. The low, generous footprint invites casual sprawl—magazines at one end, laptop at the other—while the circular-economy recipe means the table can return to the soil when its long indoor life is done. Sustainable heart, sculptural ease, ready to ground a lounge without weighing it down.
