OKITO TABLE
OKITO TABLE
Design by Läufer & Keichel, 2018
OKITO TABLE – the successful combination of solid wood and tubular steel frame.
The lightweight table is completely dismantled into its individual parts: the singular tubular steel legs are bolted form-closed and flush to the underside of the table top by iron head plates.
OKITO TABLE is delivered flat packed, which significantly reduces the packaging size.
OKITO is designed as a comprehensive product family: In addition to the OKITO chair, stool OKITO STOOL is available.
