Chocolate Donut Coffee Table by Soft-geometry

Chocolate donut coffee table by Soft-geometry Materials: Solid acasia coffee table, chocolate glaze, glass top Dimensions: 48 x 48 x 12” H The 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. Inspired by the rich, diverse object culture and craft-traditions of India, their objects are predominantly hand-made, bridging traditional and modern ways of making and seeing. Based in Kochi, India. “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.”
