Viccarbe founder and design director Victor Carrasco (who partners with design think-tank Coalese in San Francisco) uses a minimalist Japanese approach for the design of his new Ryutaro coffee tables. They have just three square tubular steel legs mortised through orund oak-veneered or lacquered MDF tops. The metal ends exposed up top are distinctive decorative features.
