Brutalist architecture with the KOBE coffee table by Studio Pietboon

Studio Piet Boon is an internationally renowned design studio, recognized for its multi-disciplinary design services and it’s remarkable talent of balancing functionality, aesthetics and individuality into one of a kind design experiences. Share

Drawing inspiration from the lines found within brutalist architecture and hailing the studio’s original aesthetics, the wooden KOBE coffee table arose from cutting a cube on a diagonal and combining two volumes. The resulting clean lines and its generous proportions give the KOBE its monumental presence. The KOBE is available in four different color combinations.

Colors: Dust grey (DG), Metallic grey (MG), Taupe (TP), Black (BL).‎
Material: Combine MDF with satin finish with varnished / brushed oak.‎

Studio Piet Boon

The studio’s heritage lies in Amsterdam and the nearby Zaanstreek, a region, known for its innovative spirit and ‘get the job done’ mentality, once the historic ‘motor’ that drove the success of the epic Dutch Golden Age. In the Zaanstreek, painters, woodworkers, carpenters, masons and other master craftsmen became entrepreneurs and tastemakers as early as the 15th century. Building on this heritage, a practical outlook combined with the spirit of creative expertise, Studio Piet Boon was established by Dutch designer and Zaanstreek local Piet Boon (1958) in 1983.
