The Kaari Desk is Artek's first collaboration with French designers Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec. It boasts a light, fluid design, seemingly crafted from a single pen stroke. Supported by oak pillars, its stability stems from a gracefully designed steel band that radiates outwards in wing-like extensions from its base. "Kaari" translates to "arch" in Finnish, reflecting its structural elegance. The interplay between the solid vertical board and the metal bands gives the base a surprisingly light appearance, resulting in a distinctive linear silhouette.
Designed around a smart, versatile component, the Kaari Collection is not only a sturdy and practical piece but also presents a fresh and unique expression. The tabletop comes in various finishes: high-pressure laminate in black gloss, and black linoleum. Both options feature a strong MDF core and ABS black edge band. With a contemporary appeal, the Kaari desk offers stability, durability and versatility, making it apt for both residential and public spaces.
The Kaari Desk is available in one size: 150 x 65 cm. The series also includes tables in rectangular, round, and square variations.
