Modern Tables
MODERN STYLE
The late 19th and early 20th centuries saw sweeping social change and major scientific advances — both of which contributed to a new aesthetic: modernism. Rejecting the rigidity of Victorian artistic conventions, modernists sought a new means of expression. References to the natural world and ornate classical embellishments gave way to the sleek simplicity of the Machine Age. Architect Philip Johnson characterized the hallmarks of modernism as “machine-like simplicity, smoothness or surface [and] avoidance of ornament.”
Early practitioners of modernist design include the De Stijl (“The Style”) group, founded in the Netherlands in 1917, and the Bauhaus School, founded two years later in Germany.
Followers of both groups produced sleek, spare designs — many of which became icons of daily life in the 20th century. The modernists rejected both natural and historical references and relied primarily on industrial materials such as metal, glass, plywood, and, later, plastics. While Bauhaus principals Marcel Breuer and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe created furniture from mass-produced, chrome-plated steel, American visionaries like Charles and Ray Eames worked in materials as novel as molded plywood and fiberglass. Today, Breuer’s Wassily chair, Mies van der Rohe’s Barcelona chair — crafted with his romantic partner, designer Lilly Reich — and the Eames lounge chair are emblems of progressive design and vintage originals are prized cornerstones of collections.
It’s difficult to overstate the influence that modernism continues to wield over designers and architects — and equally difficult to overstate how revolutionary it was when it first appeared a century ago. But because modernist furniture designs are so simple, they can blend in seamlessly with just about any type of décor. Don’t overlook them.

Sankao Coffee Table in Iroko Wood by Henka Lab

Iroko Wood Sankao coffee table by Henka Lab
Limited Edition
Dimensions: H 42 x W 120 x L 120 cm
Materials: Solid Iroko wood, oil, natural wax finish
Avalaible in Ash wood, charcoal color.
Series limited to 250 signed and numbered copies. Each piece of furniture is packed in a wooden box for maximum care.
Sankao coffee table is an elegant, daring and cutting edge piece of furniture based on an evolutionary concept of circular geometries, which grow and develop as a living being until they manage to adapt to an environment and a function. The purity of the original shape is altered through simple transformations. By doing so, both structure and utility are solved maintaining the original essence, becoming a more complex and organic object.
Henka: From Japanese “to change into”.
Lab: A room or building where experimentation and research take place.
HenkaLab is an award winning studio where shape experimentation takes place. Inspired by nature, my work emulates evolutionary processes, subjecting pure geometries to certain tensions, obtaining new living forms that fit a specific use.
Each piece produced through this process has been patiently hand-shaped and crafted to the highest standards.
Signed and numbered limited pieces.
