Modern Table Manners: The Hiroshima Series by Maruni Wood Industry

Like petite matching lingerie, the Maruni Wood Industry perfectly coordinated the new Hiroshima table to the small Hiroshima chair, which was released earlier this year. Together, the table and chair use emphatic angles to work in unison, raising a sort of silent awareness for the inclusion of simple, modern perfection in the home or office. Preventing the inevitable leg-to-table bruising that usually comes with disjointed furniture pairings, these designs – regardless of which length of table or type of chair you choose – make up the beautiful Hiroshima series designed by Naoto Fukasawa.

Maruni Wood Industry and Naoto Fukasawa present a modern wood chair and table pairing with the Hiroshima series.

As the most recent additions to the Maruni Wood Industry, the collection spices up the six, solid beech options with Flanno fabrics in colors reminiscent of a Crayola ‘Bold’ marker box. If you’ve already granted your space the presence of a wooden Hiroshima chair or armchair, the addition of a table comes in your choice of sizes. The square version, known as Table 85, measures 85 x 85 cm. Then there are numerous rectangular versions in an 85 cm length that are named for the width of the rectangle: Table 130, Table 160, Table 180. Additionally, they offer an Extension Table of a 220 cm width and a circular table with a 120 cm diameter.

My favorite characteristic of these units was best stated by Daily Icon in their brief of the Hiroshima series, “The radius of the curved line that connects the table leg and apron, match that of the small chair’s curved line, seen in the corner of which the leg and the seat’s top rail connect.” In other words, it is a super dynamic duo of materials and curved lines that quietly draws upon Fukasawa’s expertise in wood and gentle designs that manage to soothe the soul.
