If you're looking to add an industrial element to your home but you don't want that factory feel to overcome your otherwise sleek and contemporary home decor, I suggest you look no further than the Raft Table and Stool. This furniture set will introduce a strong and sturdy aesthetic without compromising your home's comfortable setting.
Designed by Norm Architects for Danish manufacturer &tradition, the Raft Table and Stool beautifully blends the rawness of natural materials with the industrial efficiency of metal structures. These simple designs have adopted a Scandinavian approach.
The Raft Table and Stool feature lacquered steel with legs of sandblasted solid oak or black stained ash with a sandblasted solid oak, white laminate or black ash laminate surface. Each version is as stunning as the next.
