SOLARIS table
A side table created after the first tasca4D product, the SOLARIS armchair.
Similar to the SOLARIS armchair, this table features 50 mm thick acrylic resin to catch your eye with its pure beauty and a wooden tabletop with profound presence.
The tabletop is 30 mm thick, luxuriously made of a pure combination of rare Birdseye maple and Japanese ternstroemia wood.
The wooden and acrylic parts are combined through traditional dovetailing. A record-breaking composition using different materials was achieved through extreme techniques, offering a simple impression at first glance even with its confusing dimensions and visible inner parts.
This comes from the distinguished techniques of the legendary furniture modeler Shigeki Miyamoto, respected by designer Kyo Yasuda. The vitality and expressiveness of the wood chosen through these techniques is highlighted by the 2 supporting acrylic resin parts.
Light reflected in the joints disappears into the thickness of the wood, offering a surprising effect, as if the tabletop alone is floating.
SOLARIS, through superior materials and Japanese craftsmanship, the ultimate table is born.
