is both the label and name of the brilliant French artist
and designer, whose designs are guided by a philosophy of
‘simplexity’: the art of giving apparent simplicity to a complex
form. The Ora-Ïto table offers an organic form – its majestic
base resembling fast-growing vines, creating different shapes
and points of view from every angle. The exceptional design
and manufacturing of this table was honoured by earning the
“Best of the Best” in the Product Design Category at the “2014
Red Dot Awards”.
Jean Nouvel, internationally renowned French
architect Jean Nouvel does not define himself as
a designer, but as “an architect who also designs”.
He created a collection inspired by the essence of
form. From a circle as the central theme, he imagined
a lacquered table and buffet-column. These creations
are mystifying yet obvious, with forms that seem to
sculpt and reflect the space around them.
