Arctic Coffee table

Arctic

The Arctic is a coffee table with dynamic waves at the bottom which generate a visual illusion that the still table appears as moving.

The inside light is supposed to evoke the attributes of fire and the tranquility of a welcoming home. The antiqued and rustic surface generates the feeling of burning and ashes while bringing traits of modernity and functionality to the work. The circular look is built up of modern, angular geometric shapes contrasting the modern and the traditional design. You can put objects anywhere in/ on the table without blocking the way of the light.

Mini off Children Furniture

Miguel Ángel Sánchez Martín Children Furniture Furniture

Mini off

Mini Off is a children furniture line designed for nursery schools. Mini Off is made of Lanisor, a light acoustic material with a high level of sound absorption. Noise enters the surface and spreads inside the material, where friction between the fibres turns the kinetic energy into heat. This effect reduces the noise level in the room. The low weight allows children to lift the furniture and place it where they want. The soft surface also makes the furniture safer for children in case of falls or knocks.
