Sankao coffee table is an elegant, daring and cutting edge piece of furniture based on an evolutionary concept of circular geometries, which grow and develop as a living being until they manage to adapt to an environment and a function. The purity of the original shape is altered through simple transformations. By doing so, both structure and utility are solved maintaining the original essence, becoming a more complex and organic object. Henka: from japanese “to change into”. Lab: a room or building where experimentation and research take place. Henkalab is an award winning studio where shape experimentation takes place. Inspired by nature, my work emulates evolutionary processes, subjecting pure geometries to certain tensions, obtaining new living forms that fit a specific use. Each piece produced through this process has been patiently hand-shaped and crafted to the highest standards. Signed and numbered limited pieces.
