The Normann Copenhagen Grow Coffee Table - Tall is made of solid oak, and named for the effortless transition between the legs and the tabletop, which gives the impression that the legs are sprouting organically from the table. The remarkably minimalist silhouette explores the luxury inherent to simplicity, using quality matures to produce a truly timeless effect. The beautiful design makes the natural oak the star of the show, highlighting the versatility and timelessness of organic materials. Part of the Grow collection.

“Honesty is what makes a product understandable, and is what describes functionality of the products. If you understand the product, it doesn’t need any explanation. The essence of my design is for it to be bought and used. Therefore it has to satisfy not only the functional aspects, but also the psychological- and aesthetic needs. For me simplicity describes the true identity of objects, and makes them trustworthy. In my designs I try not to add any unnecessary details. I work with simplicity by highlighting the necessities instead of hiding them. It gives the product a simple and honest expression.”
