OPUS
The "L-shaped" legs, meticulously carved from solid wood, and the tabletop, with its thinly shaved edges and central slit, lend a sense of lightness to the space.
The distinctive legs do not restrict seating positions, and the tabletop slit allows for flexible functionality, such as passing through PC cables. The wide range of sizes is also a key appeal.

LOTUS
A dining table with gently curved legs that vertically support the tabletop. The tabletop, thinly shaved around the edges, features a subtle raised rim, akin to a shallow dish, providing both aesthetic appeal and a functional spill guard.
