The Kaari Table 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 a central oak pillar, its stability stems from a gracefully designed steel band that radiates outwards in four 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 either white or black gloss, and black linoleum. Both options feature a strong MDF core and ABS black edge band. With a contemporary appeal, the Kaari tables offer stability, durability and versatility, making them apt for both residential and public spaces.
The Kaari Table Rectangular is available in three sizes, 160 x 80 cm, 200 x 85 cm and 240 x 90 cm. The series offers options for round and square tabletops and is also available as a desk.
