Completed projects

Project Hriby
Client Javorina
Year 2018
Description The Hriby coffee tables for the Javorina furniture company are inspired by the Slovak plant kingdom. We took direct inspiration from the most popular mushroom - the porcini mushroom. Mushroom is a popular delicacy for all passionate mushroom pickers and is characterized by its full and identical shape and pleasant taste. We have tried to achieve this symbiosis of characteristics in the design as well. The solid wooden tables with organic morphology are available in two sizes and in different colours. The top of the large table can be rotated freely thanks to a simple mechanism.
