Obon, the terracotta tables collection designed by Simone Bonanni Studio for Moooi

Simone Bonanni Studio created Obon for the Moooi company, a collection of three side tables inspired by an ancient,earthy, irregular material: terracotta.

“The initial idea was not to design a set of three side tables. Originally, my aim was to add to the refined world of Moooi a new “touch of craftsmanship” which was freshly handmade and beautiful with no makeup. At this point, the choice of a new set of side tables represented just the perfect tool to achieve this, a good white canvas where to experiment.“

“The choice of terracotta came naturally with the drawings and outlines of the tables. From the beginning, the idea was to introduce a series of objects which appeared to be handmade and that could create a natural and gently imperfect tone. I wanted to make the object look beautiful for its spontaneity and genuineness, not for its complexity.” Simone Bonanni

With its origins lost in the mists of time, terracotta is at the base of millenary archaeological finds all over the world. These precious discoveries are evidence of our timeless creativity and desire to leave a sign, admire and ritualize.

The tables’ design is the result of a patient process of combining shapes and volumes. Their graphical purity blends into the structure of ceramics creating a unique mix of new and antique.

Enjoy a pure touch of earthiness in a sophisticate world.
