Useful, understated, responsible design is an ongoing theme for Jasper Morrison. The Taro Tables exude the natural appeal of oak, which will patina beautifully over time, in a simple design that’s unassuming yet appealing.   Instead of starting with the purpose of a wood table, the starting point was finding a purpose for the wood itself. Inspiration came from the premium grade quarter sawn oak at our Fredericia factory, used for many of our most compelling furniture designs, such as The Spanish Chair. The timber comes from trees aged upwards of 150 years, so maximizing the most appealing planks while minimizing wastage was a high priority. Whether round or rectangular, for residential dining or corporate meetings, Taro commands attention with its solidity and stunning natural patterns of the wood grain.
