Description
Overview
Kobo is Patrick Norguet's 2023 dining table. Its construction layers a substantial top over turned legs of comparable visual weight.
Construction
The veneered top and solid legs are available in Canaletto walnut, ash or oak programmes. Codes 02B285 and 02B286 can also receive a solid-wood top.
Specifications
Representative code: 02B280. Dimensions: 110 × 110 × 74 cm. Seven codes cover square, round and rectangular formats. Every drawing is 74 centimetres high, across two squares, two circles and three rectangular lengths from 210 to 300 centimetres.
Story
Cultural reference
The manufacturer traces Kobo's direct construction and strength to furniture traditions shared across several African nations. Patrick Norguet reduces that reference to a thick surface and turned supports.
Seven dining sizes
Two square, two round and three rectangular drawings make up the dining programme. Codes 02B285 and 02B286 add the option of a solid-wood surface. The circular pair separates 130- and 160-centimetre diameters.
