Cool Coffee Tables
From a digitally fabricated metal table to a repurposed slab of hardwood, these coffee tables give living spaces a leg up.
Norwegian architect Casper Mork-Ulnes and his wife, American furniture designer Lexie Damner Mork-Ulnes, tackled a renovation of their 1,300-square-foot apartment in Oslo. To lighten the space, they treated the floors with Flügger’s Trelut lye, then sanded them, oiled them with PNZ Objektöl, and finished them with two coats of wax. In the living room, a reclaimed Indonesian hardwood slab from Buka Design + Hardwoods is the de facto coffee table and the painting is by Casper’s mother, Randi Mork-Ulnes. The gray Mags sectional sofa is from Hay.
Carlos Bobonis Colorado
Formerly the Fabrication Director at the Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico’s School of Architecture, New York-based designer Carlos Bobonis Colorado's work merges cutting-edge digital fabrication processes with the spirit of his home country. Named after an iconic barrio in Ponce, Puerto Rico and taking inspiration from the Ponce Museum of Art’s architectural details, his Mariani table family evokes the color and character of life in the tropics.
