A beautifully produced piece, the Artek REB 011 Kaari Dining Table is an elegant and shape-driven object. Here presented in its square configuration, the Kaari dining table is available in a number of finishes, with the base and table top both configurable, with a choice of durable black or white HPL laminate tabletops and oak bases coated in either a simple protective varnish or finished with a black lacquer. Decorative, without being audacious or overbearing, the Kaari series is a contemporary classic from Finland's beloved furniture studio.
Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, the Breton-born brothers, are the stars of European design and the most promising industrial designers to have emerged from France since Philippe Starck in the 1980s.
A combination of romanticism and functionality runs throughout both brothers’ work. Like all truly talented designers, the Bouroullecs have defined a distinctive visual style, which Jasper Morrison (one of the designers they most admire) described as “thoughtful and disciplined, with a real spirit and poetry”.
