We felt like we were good on right angles in our assortment and had a desire to find some forms that were more natural and organic, but also clearly modern. We also wanted to have a collection of occasional tables that could be grouped and scaled in different ways, or used individually. We designed Swole with three table sizes that are all sold individually – one coffee table and two side tables. Three is just enough to create interesting groupings, but no more than needed. We then made each of the tabletop shapes unique and different from one another. That was a long exercise of cutting non-geometric forms out of cardboard and finding shapes that were not too regular or too quirky, or too reminiscent of something from the 60s. Lastly, we gave each of the three sizes their own finish.
