The coffee table Nato seeks to express the poetry of the Mediterranean territory through the valorisation and dialogue of its resources: cork (wood and bark), Provençal cane, clay. It echoes, by its materials and its colors, the rhythm of canes and grasses, with red earths loaded with iron, with the sunny volcanic rocks of Estérel, with the colors and freshness of the seaside. The juxtaposition of these expressive materials call for a sober design: a ceramic cylinder welcoming the luminous canes, a cork disc and a tripod of steel simply fit together. The circular shapes and soft light of the object invite to gather near the ground, as we could sit around a fire.
