Product: B&B Italia Tobi-Ishi

By

Designed by Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby for B&B Italia, Tobi-Ishi embodies the beauty and simplicity of the ornamental stones found in traditional Japanese gardens, for which the table is named. With a cantilevered, 63″-diameter wooden top and a base that varies in look depending on your viewing angle, the structural, polyurethane-foam table has a cement-grout finish coat, giving the piece a smooth, but textural, appearance. • bebitalia.com
