Oku is an interpretation of the Japanese word for oak Oku. Oku refers to the essence of the design - oak. Through experiments with the balance between lightness and heaviness, making it paper-thin when seen from one angle and solid from others, the design emphasizes the natural material. The Oku table top is produced in oak veneer with round edges, adding a refined detail to the large surface. The legs of turned oak timber sections are positioned sporadically to create the illusion of a floating tabletop, while also adding sculptural detail to the table.

Inspired by traditional Danish elementary school chairs, the NY11 Chair has a frame hand-crafted from solid oak and a seat of oak veneer.

Just like a school chair it had to be both comfortable and very durable. The result is a simple and honest chair with a timeless expression.
