Magnus Pettersen folds oak and brass into a japandi conversation piece
The profile is simple at a distance: a generous oak top set on two chamfered legs. Step closer and the legs reveal an inward curve that recalls the sweep of a kimono collar, a nod to Japanese joinery in dialogue with Scandinavian design ideals. That crossover gives the table its japandi attitude—purposeful, tactile, and ready for everyday life.
Structure does the talking. A visible stretcher pierces each leg, locking the frame without hardware and letting honest joinery become the focal point. Subtle brass details catch light at the corners, while the white-pigmented lacquer keeps the grain readable but durable enough for elbows, laptops, and dinner platters alike. It’s furniture you live with, not tiptoe around.
Part of WOUD’s growing family of contemporary tables, Kimono bridges the precision of Danish design with Pettersen’s Norwegian roots. The result feels poised rather than ornamental—an oak platform that supports gatherings now and patinas gracefully for decades to come.
