  Woodwork By: Roberto Vidiella And Pablo Vidiella

Sankao coffee table arises as an investigation of circular and cylindrical geometries. The purity of the original shape is altered through simple changes by conceptually pressing and stretching three points. By doing so, both structure and utility are solved maintaining the original essence, becoming a more complex and organic object. The choice of material had to fulfil a fundamental premise: to be a living material, with its own unique DNA and footprints. This material could not be other than solid wood. The construction and manufacturing equally combines technology and craftsmanship.
