He was known for his creations inspired by scandinavian style, and he crafted high-end furniture, including sideboards, tables, and chairs.

he was the head of design for a. Younger ltd. During this period, he signed some of his most iconic collections, which were later awarded, including the “fonseca” collection and the “sequence” collection. Both collections gained immense popularity at that time.

the coffee table we have here is one of the examples from its “fonseca collection” a rectangular coffee table with a beautiful afromorsia wood for its frame and legs and a vibrant teak wood for the top. Another feature that makes this piece so unique is the rattan rack.
the beauty of this table is due to the line-up joints between the legs and the top, the use of rattan for the rack and the colours of the wood.
