Kristalia - Holo rectangular wooden table 220 x 110

A hole exists or not? Everything would say no, yet a hole has a shape and occupies a space, just like an object. Invited to design a round version of the Holo icon table, Kensaku Oshiro starts again from that hole and from the oval that is its hallmark creates a base for the support of the top. Massive and sculptural, the base is painted in the new Exclusive colours finishes, the result of research by the powder coating center of Kristalia, while the top, round or organic shape with tapered edge, is available in European oak, walnut and oak stained black or Fenix-NTM black or white. More than a table, Holo Pillar is the proof of the materiality of the holes.
