CENTENNIALE COFFEE TABLE
design Joanna Laajisto
2023 & 2026

“Over 100-year-old wood is allowed to show it’s true character, color variations, cracks and marks. Some people might call these imperfections, but I think they are the essence of the piece and should be embraced. The low profile of the table has a grounding effect, and it brings harmony and calmness to a space. It also enhances the natural and organic feel of the piece. The table top, made of one solid piece, is held up by chunky blocks. These elements are distinguished from each other by form: the rounded leg and sharper edges of the top. All this to enhance the solidness of the material it is made of.

The new round version is a nice complement to the Centenniale Family Due to its shape and proportions, it works well as a standalone piece, or together with the rectangular table, creating a larger whole.” — Designer Joanna Laajisto

Centenniale table is made of solid ash or oak, and it is meant to have cracks, wormholes, unevenness, and knots, making each piece unique. The careful craftsmanship work makes every piece a unique work of art, and the name is honoring the fact that the material is already old, but the table will last many centuries more in use.
